I know the Salon 2 are considered some of the best Revel has made but they aren't in production anymore so you'll have to find used or might still be a demo pair around. I have no idea if they would be a wow I've never heard the Goldenear speakers.
Revel Salon 2 vs Vandersteen 5a Carbon
I am a senior looking for my final set of speakers. Will be powered by McIntosh 452 amp and McIntosh C2500 preamp in a 20 x 18 room . Have Goldenear Triton 1’s and Ohm 5 mk-2 speakers now. Will I appreciate significant sound upgrade? Which would you recommend and why?
