I'll second what your dealer and Tmsorosk said about the Salon 2s coming to life with 300 watts of power, especially in a large room. I'm using a Plinius SB-301 to drive mine (310 wpc into 8 ohms and 470 wpc into 4 ohms, so around 400 wpc at the Salon 2's nominal 6 ohm impedence).
While I seldom turn the dial past 11 o'clock, these things with their six woofers absolutely gobble power and will dive deep into an amp's reserves even at less than ear-splitting volumes. So while I envy your Alephs' Class A output, I do think Salon 2s would be a bit watt-challenged with them.
