Revel Studio or Salon?


Just listened to the Ultimat Studios in a room about 16 x 9 x 20 and they sounded wonderful. Actually better then wonderful. The question is I have a room about twice as long as the show room and am wondering if the base will hold up pushing a larger volume? The Studios were being driven by a 150w/c Naim and I have a 400 w/c Krell (at 4 ohms)so I don't have a power problem. THe question is do I have to go to the Salons? The dealer said the studios were better in some regards (imaging and frequency down to about 30Hz) and of course cheaper. I asked Revel and guess what? They said the Salons are $3-5K better. Daaa. The Salons place the tweeter about 5 inches higher then the Studios which I believe are at exactly the right hight for seated listeners.

I was in the same dilemma but decided to keep the Studio. I am using the $$$ to upgrade my rear speakers to Revel Embrace which will complete my Revel HT system - Studios, Voice, Embrace and B15.

I agree with Mg123 on the B15. It even works well for 2 channel music. I may get another one.
