Mofojo, did you notice that Revel changed the tweeter from Titanium to Beryillium in the later incarnation of the Salon's did you ever wonder why, also there are very few people talking about them so if they were the class leader they would be generating a lot more excitement on these boards.
Bill_K you missed our point entirely, yes an anchoic room has no reflections and are designed to allow for good measurements.
If you design a speaker with a rising top end it may mean that the designers felt that the speakers would sound more exciting for one, for two many audiophiles who are older have dips in their hearing and three many audio room are Living Rooms with lots of absorbtative furniture.
Would the Personas or any other super clean loudspeakers sound good in a sparsely furnished room probably not, the demo we did with the 3F was in a large room it had carpeting and drapes, and big couches and the 3F on the Naim gear sounded fantastic in that room without a lick of hardness.
Remember one persons bright is another person's detailed and alive, one person's musical is another persons's dull and lifeless.
