revel Salon 2 seating distance
I have my Salon 2s spread 10 feet wide and sit about 9 feet back (they are currently close to the back wall, but will be moved out into the room fairly soon). As I am sure you've already discovered, the Salon 2's tweeter dispersion is absolutely o... 
Wilson Sophia III vs Sasha
When auditioning speakers for my new system, I found that the Sashas paired with an Audio Research 200 wpc integrated amp sounded great - up until about 80 on the volume control, when the ARC just didn't have the power reserves to handle recording...

HELP B&W 802D or Revel Ultima Salon2
Jim, my sunroom is also fairly large and also has a lot of glass. When auditioning speakers for my new system in late October, the three best I heard were Wilson Sashas, Revel Salon 2s and B&W 802Ds.I ultimately went with the Salon 2s. The Sas... 
Best speakers in the 3000 -5000 range
