I only had a 250/425 wpc amp when I had my salon 2's and the guy I sold them to says he uses Mac MC601's on them and the clipping lights flicker when he's cranking them. I owned the Kef R105/3's for 25 years so probably got used to their sound possibly making me a bit jaded because even though the salon 2 had some amazing image specificity the soundstage was mia making for a really strange presentation.
Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!!
For years and years, I brought in a multitude of different speakers into my listening room, never really being truly, completely satisfied with any of them. So the speaker merry-go-round went on and on, until I finally found the speakers that put all of that to rest. Not only was I dissatisfied, I was also going broke in the process. All that buying and selling was killing me and stressing me out, as well. It was the Revel Salon 2 speakers that finally got the job done for me. Once I got my hot little hands on the Revel Salon 2 speakers, it was all over. Now, I have absolutely no desire to switch out the Salons for anything else. The Revel Salon 2 speakers covered all the sonic bases for me, truly capturing my imagination, from top to bottom, like none of the others completely did. I get to hears all the new speakers at dealers and at shows, and they all sound just awesome, too. But, still, for my money, the Salons 2s are the ones (they’re just that good). The Revel Salon 2 speakers turned out to be all the speaker I think I’ll ever need, and will be with me for the duration. For which, my ears and my wallet thank me.
