Sonus Faber Stradivari

I would like to hear from those who have owned (or at least heard) the Sonus Faber Stradivari and Revel Salon 2's (my current speakers). I know they are completely different speakers, but I have an opportunity to buy a nice used pair of Strads, but I continually see people selling them for various reasons (I understand the upgrade bug better than anyone!), but I'm wondering if there is something about the Strads I don't know (i.e. people grow tired of the Strad sound, they can't play loud, they don't do X....whatever?).

Associated equipment: I have two sets of monoblocks - McIntosh 2301's and 1.2kws.

Do I sell the Salon 2's and grab the Strads or hold on to the Salon 2's? I'm curious because I see those who flip speakers a lot, end up searching for uncolored/neutral speakers (which I now have). That's why I wonder if some become tired of the Strad sound and would I?

Cant answer about the Revel Salons.
But you can read what 2 posters said about the comparisons they heard when hearing the Stradivari to the Sonus Faber Amati Homage and Wilson Alexandra II. Just scroll down to the posts at 4 26 12

I'd say first hear the Strads and see how you like them.
