Revel Speakers
I went from ESL-63's to Wilson 5.1's to F52's to Studio 2's. The Quad's still have the best midrange, but they have other limitations. I went polar opposite with the WP 5.1's. While they had the bass slam, dynamics and so on, I got listener fatigu...

Ricred1,Did you find the Sasha's make to many recordings hard to listen too? Did you find they spotlighted the flaws in recordings to much? 
Revel Speakers
Chrissain,I'm guilty. I listened to my Studio 2's for over a year before I went on the net and read everything I could find about speaker/chair placement. Cardas Audio and Galen Carol Audio have some very good tips. While my original placement was... 
Revel Speakers
Having gone from the F52 to the Studio 2 I can speak from first hand experience.While the F52 is an overachiever, the Studio 2 is much more transparent and provides a superior sound stage as others have said. The only speaker I've heard that is as... 
New Wilson Shasha W/P Series 2
Bjbcab,Explain what you mean by "upgrading through Wilson"? If you mean that there is enough profit margin for dealers to offer generous trade in's, well that can vary from dealer to dealer and how far up the chain the customer is going. But that ... 
New Wilson Shasha W/P Series 2
Bjbcab,Exactly what is it you're claiming I don't know? Dealer trade in's have nothing to do with Wilson's business model. A Wilson Audio backed upgrade or trade in policy would be news to me.I'm glad your dealer took care of you none the less. 
Any reason to even buy a new PJ at this juncture??
If you have a reasonably good projector now, I'd say no. 2k is more than adequate unless you sit very close or are talking about 100"+ screens. Dbphd has hit the nail on the head. A 2k projector with JVC blacks, DLP sharpness, the ANSI contrast of... 
New Wilson Shasha W/P Series 2
Chayro,While I don't disagree with most of what you say, you illustrate the fact that used Wilson's are a good buy. New ones are terrible. Because they seldom offer upgrade or trade in options to their old customers.Speakers may be more difficult,... 
New Wilson Shasha W/P Series 2
While there is no hint that I'm aware of, I suspect we'll see little effort on Wilson's part to give current Sasha owners an upgrade or preferred trade in option. Their business model may push the state of the art, but the depreciation cost to the... 
Wilson Maxx 3
Unless one could get the Maxx 3 very reasonably, the improvements included in the Alexia would be where I'd go. The new tweeter in particular. The Sasha 2 has a variation of the new tweeter, which by most accounts is a step up from the one used in... 
Revel Salon 3?
Appdevman,My room is 21x17 and I have a Voice 2 to match my Studio 2's. The best comment I can give you is you'll be fine. 
Revel Salon 3?
The Salon 2 and Studio 2 are fairly common used, at prices that are very attractive. There is no way I'd pay for a new pair, but you won't get hurt buying a used pair even when and if we see a Salon 3.I have a dedicated room and first class electr... 
About the new LSC reissues by Analogue Productions
For the most part I felt Classic did a good job on their LSC reissues. Some of the early ones didn't sound as sweet as the originals, such as LSC 1806, but even then they had a better bass foundation and slam. Which one I preferred depended on the... 
"What's The Best Value Speaker In $5k-$10k Range?"
A used pair of Revel Studio 2's or Maggie 3.7's. 
Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p?
Mpit's comment is in line with my experience. Try as I might, massed strings on a large number of my favorite recording were a problem with my Wilson's. Peaky mic's, mic's to close, mastering issues, sunspots, who knows? Still, if I wanted to list...
