Can't wait to hear with Studio2 next year when Revel *finally* starts shipping the Ultima2 series worldwide.
Kennyt,
many thanks for your suggestion to try the Transparent cables. I have asked Revel and they said that Kevin has used a lot of different cables for the Ultima2 development and mainly Levinson amps. My cable tests continued: MIT Oracle 3.2 and Synergistic Apex Tesla had no chance against the KS-3038 as well.
Psacanli,
a "real" comparison (same room and equipment) with the Dynaudios might be a challenge. I suppose you referred to the original Salon? The answer is (based on my memory and on answers by dealers) that the Salon2 sounds similar to the original version, but it does many things significantly better.
kenyt- i am fascinated by the fact that you heard these speakers at CES with a ml-390s cd player. and they sounded great. am i missing something here? that cdp is "ancient history" as far as everyone is concerned. except for me since i have one and it sounds like music through another very revealing set of speakers as well. i wish people would pay more attention to comments like yours before deciding if it didn't come out in the last 3 years it isn't any good.
French_fries,
frankly speaking I doubt that (SA)CD player development has seen relevant progress in the last couple of years, so I'm not really surprised that the 390S still does a great job! The same might be true for speakers as well... After 20 years of music reproduction experience, I came to the conclusion that basically all the equipment out there is not too far away from what is possible and it's mainly a matter of personal taste if you decide for ML, Krell, BAT, Einstein, Jadis, Esoteric, Revel, Reimyo, Burmester, ....
Do you use a pre-amp with your 390S???
