Speakers better than Revel Salon 2


In all my searching of speakers the ones that keep coming up as a gold standard for great sound are the Revel Salon 2. They are also 10 years old so I figure there are speakers that are better. I propose 4 tiers of suggestions (common used price or msrp):

1) Speakers that are in the same ballpark price of the Salon 2. Say $10-20k.
2) Speakers that are more pricey: $20-50k
3) Speakers that are very pricey: $50k-$100k
4) Eye twitch Speakers: $100k+

Please only make suggestions if you have heard the Salon 2 yourself. Thanks!

Somewhat More Pricey

Very Pricey
MBL 101E Mk II ($70k)
Sonus Faber Aida ($130k)
Raidho - several models
Borreson - several models

Eye Twitch
