Better speaker value here?

Revel Salon 1's for 5K, or Salon 2's for 10K? Obviously there's a 5K price difference. But which would you choose and why as representing the better value?

Not sure sure where you can get the 2's for $10K. $12-13K seems more common. FWIW, I would go with the Salon 2 in any case. I just can't get around the looks of the 1. Also, resale would be better (until the Salon 3's start showing up)

Thank you for your response. I have a line on a pair of 2's that is close enough to 10K. I don't find the looks of the 1's to be so awful. Just my opinion.

I haven't heard the Salon2's, but I've read the Stereophile and Soundstage reviews. This speaker comes off as an overachiever at $22K, with the transparency and detail of a minimonitor combined with the power and bass extension of a true full range speaker. Getting a pair for something close to $10K strikes me as a stone cold bargain (relatively speaking).
