Revel salon 2 vs vandersteen 5a carbons


The text keeps getting mixed up. Has anyone been able to compare these two? What are your thoughts on either. Will be driven by McIntosh tube preamp and 300 watt McIntosh amp.

@tooth2thYou may have 300w Mac, I don’t know which model, so it’s current ability is up in the air, especially with maybe the output transformer coupled solid state Mac amps.

The Vandersteen are a far easier load than the Revels, if your Mac can do good current then I would opt for the Revels. But they are a hard load in the 6 bottom octaves.
