I’ve never heard the Salon 2s but would love to. I was just curious if Rockport speakers were on your comparison list.

I had the Revel F208 and a McIntosh MA352 integrated hybrid and then wanted to upgrade the system, so I got a McIntosh MC462 SS amp with a SS pre amp, and Sonus Faber Amati's.  It was such a change but so harsh that I had to return everything.  

Then I got the Studio 2's, which sound great, but thought they needed a bit more power.  So yesterday, I got the MC462 again but this time paired it with the C2800 Tube Pre amp.

OMG

Solid and warm, but with so much detail.  Quiet and open soundstage.

I've had quite a few of the JBLs, including L26, L36, L55, L65, L77, L100, L110, L150, L166, L220, L300, 4313B, 4333, 4343, 4345, 4350B, Everest DD67000, Project Array 1400, Hartsfield, Paragon, Metregon, and a few others that I can't remember model numbers.  I still own almost all of them.  My favorites are the L110, 4313B, L220, L300, 4350B, Everest, Array 1400, Hartsfield.  If I had to choose top of them:  4350B, DD67000, Array 1400, plus Hartsfield for drop dead classiest.  I've had the Revel Studio 2 and Salon 2.  Still have the Salon 2.  Set up properly, they are great, but they need LOTS of juice.  They have to share the house with Tannoy Westminsters, Apogee Studio Grands, Tannoy Canterburys, BMR Towers with RAAL ribbons.  I've been through waaaay too many speakers  even to think about them, probably close to 200 pairs. Took me about sixty years to get here (started chasing good sound in my late teens), and I am still buying stuff from time to time.
