Avalon Eidolon Diamond vs Revel Salon 2

Trcnetmsncom. Agree. Hope he finds something good.

I think you are right about their limited power handling,
But the Krell can send out huge instantaneous peak current that many speakers could not digest.

Siddh. I respect your comments re fine tuning through ancillary equipment, tweaks and room placement (would add treatment).

Rushton And Siddh. That's what I've heard. you can have beautiful music n precision with the Eidolon but of course you have to 'set m up right'. Enjoy

Not hearing much from the Salon 2 camp. Why not?

I am surprised by the level of detail related to the sound comparison of the Salon 2 and the Eidolon.
I honestly thought one of them would sound more musical, nuanced, dynamic, flowing and involving than the other in a way most would be able to agree on. You know, toe tapping, rhythmic, party inviting, involving, close your eyes and flow with the music presentaion. I seems to compare them is not that simplistic.
I had been hoping for a higher degree of concensus. Maybe they are both great speakers; perhaps not that different?

Johnsonwu. I can't imagine why you'd listen to"grainier" sounding speaker where "both" have a tendency to "thin out"; instead of buying something to enjoy. Maybe it's time to
move up?

Maybe ex dealers / reps have gone deaf from too much listening??? Or have caught that terrible affliction, analyzitis--must be very painful; perhaps a good reason for a negative attitude?
