Revel Salon2s: Seeking Advice
All,
There's a closeout on new Revel Salon2s locally and it's a speaker that's always intrigued me and been widely praised for characteristics I like in a speaker (detail, neutrality, punches above its weight, good midrange and bottom end). My concern is if it would be a lateral move based on my current speakers so I wanted to ask your opinions.
Current setup: Focal Kanta 3s, Parasound JC5, Pass Labs xp22, Denafrips T+, Lumin U1 + X1 PSU, great cabling, dedicated 20amp circuits, etc.
Any thoughts on if I should look into the Revels further versus what I currently have? Tangentially I have also considered trying tube pres but consider speakers as the foundation of the system and don't want to pass up this up unnecessarily. TIA!
A couple of thoughts. deep_33, Revel does extensive blind listening testing, and has been written up for this in many places. Not just engineering in a box: https://www.audioadvice.com/videos-reviews/revel-speakers-lineup-overview As for power needs or bi-amping, I just put a pair of Salon2s into my room, and would be curious as to thoughts on bi-amping them with two different amplifiers - say tubes for top end and SS or ClassD for bottom end with a proper crossover.
