Revel Salon 2’s (used) or new Magico A-3 (new) ??

Have recently heard the Salon 2’s and think they are incredible. (I owned the Salon 1’s previously
and now own Golden Ear Triton Reference)
i love the Refs, and they can be considered keepers for sure, but think I may like the Salon 2’s
more, but of coarse did not hear them in my house. 
I have heard them twice now, and was super impressed (as was my wife the last time) and think
i May make the plunge.

My budget for this last speaker purchase will be ~$11k ish, give or take. So having said that, the other speaker on my radar is the new to be released Magico A-3, but don’t think I can have a pair in my hands for another 3-4 months.

Has anyone heard the new Magico at Axpona, that has experience with he Salon 2’s?

I’m solid on Salon 2 if I can find the right deal (have seen them going for $9k now) I may grab
a pair. I have a local pair lined up for $11k. 

So, wanted to take a brief poll and see if anyone has the experience with the two pair in question.

Thanks in advance!

telescope_trade,

Just my opinion (and maybe some others), but before I would put all my eggs in Audio Doctor's basket, I would check out John Rutan of Audio Connection. He can give you the best advice in the business. IMHO. His system advice has few peers.....

Audio Troy,

This is fact: Awhile back I discussed with you a question regarding Loudspeakers. You pretty much dissed what I had for speakers and said they were no match for the Paradigm Persona line. If you don't remember or worse, if you believe it didn't ever happened, well, that doesn't mean that it didn't happen. You went on one of your rants about how much experience you have in the field of audio and what a great salesman you are. Pretty much what you have done here in this thread.

This is fact:  John Rutan has helped and given me good advice with my system and never pushed any of his products onto me. If anything, he complimented me on the gear I have and advised me how to get the best out of it.

John Rutan exudes knowledge without beating someone over the head with it. I believe I have my FACTS straight....

One last thing Audio Troy, I have neither the time nor the desire to get in a pissing match with you. You called me out about the FACTS, and I responded. For me, end of discussion.
