Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8

Hi Branimir,

I have the W/P8 at home for the last 3 month. Before I bought them, I was afraid from brightness, strident upper midrange and aggressiveness, but I proved false.
With an Audio Research Reference 3+ Reference 110 amplification, the sound is on the warm side. I measured my room/speakers with a DEQX 2.6. The room correction decrease only in the 70- 100Hz range (my W/P8's stand "11 from the back wall), and didn't change anything else. The measurement show a flat FR graph with a small drop from 5K- 20KHz.

If the W/P 8 placed correct and match with the right component (generally with tube's amps), the sound is superb: rich but not fat, detail yet natural, control and extended.
I heard the Revel Salon 2 in the CES for a brief time, it was one of my best demos. At $22K, I think it's the best value for money together with the Magico V3.
Still, the W/P 8 is more involving than the Salon 2.
