I also spoke recently with Kevin Voecks about upgrade plans for the Salons. He and Revel/HSG feel that there is no need to update the speaker. They compare their speakers to the competition at least on a yearly basis. They believe the Salons and the rest of the Ultima line more than hold their own with any competition.
The only reason they are not on Stereophile's Class A list is because Revel has not sent them out for review according to Stereophile. So even though they were heralded as the
"World's Best Speaker" they are off their list.
The Salons are a truely a bargain in the World of Monthly Sonic Wonders. A great product that holds its own with any speaker in its price range and above and does not require an expensive update every 6 months to satsify reviewers' whims and the audiophile's vanity.
