I own a pair of Salons and loved the sound but was dissatisfied with the bass, to me it was far from SOTA no matter where I positioned the speakers or what I drove them with. I have since added a pair of JL Fathom 113s to my system and look out! This is just what the doctor ordered. The Salons by themselves have very accurate bass, but I never could get it to integrate with the room. The JL with a Bryston crossover and lots of TLC have really transformed my system.
"Fun" Speaker As An Alternative To Revel Salon I
I have had Revel Salon I speakers for about eight years now. Enjoy them. But it has been a long time with them, and I have the itch to hear something different. At this time, I do not want to incur the cost of replacing the Salons. Instead, I am toying with the idea of getting a second set of speakers to insert into the system every now and then for a different listening experience.
Some speakers that have intrigued me as possibilities include the Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors, and the Harbeth Compact 7. I am curious to know whether any of you have suggestions on what would be a good change-of-pace alternative to the Revels.
The front end is a Meridian 800/861 combination, and the amps are Clayton M300s.
