I heard both in the same room using the same front end equipment. The Salon II had very good bass and a big powerful sound. But they also sounded like a collection of drivers with little coherence, the soundstage was very flat, and the tweeters called attention to themselves. They also appeared to be more forward. After listening to only my first three audition songs, I didn't want to hear anymore from the Salons.
By comparison the Sashas were much more coherent, had better instrumental tone, and just drew me into the music.
Ian, knowing your struggles with your Sashas I would not suggest the Revels as a replacement.
