Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8

Since I had a chance to audition both Salon2 and W/P8 I can say that both speakers are good. Honestly, I like Salon2 little bit more. For all seeking speaker in this class check out new KEF Reference 207/2 as well. It is really as good as John Atkinson said in his review.
Regarding W/P8 sounding bright... To my ears they sound little bit "hot" in lower treble(not high treble). I even personally discussed that "quality" with Peter Mcgrath on one of his presentation of W/P8s(he setup the system with W/P8s on that presentation)... So, we can asume that prominent lower treble is Wilson sonic signature.

Regarding Escalante Fremonts check out review in February issue of Stereophile... I audition Fremonts as well and was not that impressed with their sound.

For all people who are interested in either Salon2 or W/P8 my advice is to visit your local dealer and try to audition both speakers personally. Then make your own judgement and buy one of these great speakers. Both are excellent but, there is difference between them. Some people will like more W/P8, other will like more Salon2. That is difference in our taste and hearing. Long live the difference in opinion!

BTW, regarding my post about W/P8 highs if it was not clear I didn't mean to imply that Peter McGrath had stated that the W/P8
has prominent lower treble. He actually stated that many other
speakers are deficient in that area while the W/P8 is not.

Jeff,

Just one question-why you toe-in Salon2 so much?

Salon2 is equiped as you already know with 24db/octave crossover and according to experienced Revel dealer in Germany needs only moderate toe-in(max. 15 degrees), otherwise Salon2 will sound little bit too-entusiastic in treble. When I audition Salon2 toe-in degree was much smaller then in your setup...

Jeff,
Fully agree with you regarding Magico review(and JA measurements).
I had a chance to audition them in Milan 2007 Hifi Show and I start wondering what that fuzz is all about... They did not impressed me at all.
