I owned the salon 2 and listened to them in several different systems. The fact that the speakers sounded different in every system and during my ownership they were able to show the different recording techniques was pretty impressive. I did find a pair of usher BE-20 DMD's were much more efficient so were an easier load and played louder in my room. There's also less transparent speakers that'll make those old 70's Zep recordings more musical, but better...idk
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!
