KEF R107/2 vs REVEL f52
I think you might be referring to the R207/2 not the R107/2 unless adding ferrofluid to these vintage tweeters and jc1 amps makes a really big difference, and as much as I enjoy the R107's they won't throw a soundstage  the likes of the new hi end...

Try the Hegel H190 if you like the H160 the new model has the same power ratings but manages to get an even better grip on the bass and I notice a bit more up top also. The display looks professional(finally) and the headphone jack's on the side. 
Magico S5 vs Revel Salon 2
BUMP, Tell us about the Magico's 
Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range
I'm double dipping. I posted my interest in the same price range as you and since I just bought my Hegel H360 and whatever I hear will still have to sound good 'in my room' I went ahead and bought a used pair of Revel Salon2's locally that I shoul... 
speakers with balls
Horns!, Cerwin Vega, Dynaudio, JBL, Klipsch, legacy, and while I don't exclusively 'ROCK' my Revel's do a great job when i'm in the mood, they do need more watts than many others tho. 
KEF R107/2 vs REVEL f52
Anybody curious about comparing the R107/2 to a newer design f52? The kef can still hold its own in the bass against virtually any full range speaker out there, midrange is still pretty good, but the tweeter from the early 90's is showing its age.... 
Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range
I'm really enjoying this thread since i'm shopping at the low end of your price range. I have had many, many pair of Kef's and while I love what that uniq driver does well I find kef voices the bass a bit too conservative for my taste. Currently  ...

thank you. 
Vienna Acoustics The Music
I’d take The Music over a Salon 2 any day. Not sure what VA speakers you heard, but if you need a speaker to play louder, you probably have bad hearing loss, or are expecting too much out of a speaker for the given room size. CTFD.The Beethove... 
Vienna Acoustics The Music
BUMP. My experience with VA loudspeakers that use the spidercone drivers was sacrificing spl for the natural sound ! Is 'The Music' also limited to reproducing small jazz ensembles at live levels or can this speaker match the output of speakers li... 
Enthusiast's Review A/B Focal Sopra 2 and Electra 1028be (II)
bump, I appreciate the common theme with resolving speakers when it comes down to picking the recording quality to compliment the speakers and I had many brands with 'hot tweeters' that stood out in demo's and sucked at home or cost a fortune in s... 
Bluesound vs SOtM
i'm also learning about streaming hi rez audio and run a usb cable from my laptop that defaults to 24/48k output to the dac in my h360, I have no idea if this is the best sound I can get but it does give me a decent menu to navigate. 
What is you TIDAL setup?
Does running tidal from a laptop thru usb to a hegel h360 provide hi rez or is a streamer still needed? anybody? 
Newbie Looking for Advice on Streaming Music
My integrated, a hegel h360 has an onboard dac but i'm new to streaming and currently run a usb from a laptop to the unit and with tidal's highest res option many songs sound very good but am I getting the most from both formats? 1 being tidal and...
