I am about to buy a pair, and hadn't heard of the new version, though am not surprised to hear of it.... I am eager to hear about them!
New Revel Salon's being Introduced In 2006
I recently have been looking to pickup a good second hand pair of speakers. My goal is to put together a really nice alternative system in my summer home so that i can enjoy music when i am up North during the summer months. My Main system consists of Wilson Maxx 2's being driven by Boulder 1050 mono's with 1010 preamp. Bat VK10se phono with TNT HRX turntable. Riemyo cdp 777 dig front end. I like a speaker that can bring it home when need be, in other words can play clean and loud without commpression.
I recently spoke with a friend who is a high ranking executive at Harmon, and he mentioned to me that the Revel line was being revamped for late 2006 and that the improvments to the Salons & Studio will rewrite the bar for speakers in each of there respective classes. Prior to that conversation I was leaning towards picking up a pair of Used Salon's here on Agon since they can be had for less than $10,000 on a regular basis.
I have heard the Salons on a couple of occasions the bass is simply world class it embarrasses many $30,000 to $40,000 speakers in this area. I'm curious to hear from Revel owners who enjoy this speakers sound and am curious to know what area's of this speakers performance can be improved upon. This will help me to decide on picking up the used current version or waiting for the second coming !
