Thinking of Kef Blade 2 to replace Revel Salon 2

I owned the Salon 1 in a great room for over 5 years. It was enjoyable but not the best I had heard at that time. I later heard the Thiel CS 3.7 and thought that was a much better speaker than the Salon 1. I then heard the Blade1 and felt that was even better than the Thiel CS 3.7.

The thing I want the most from a speaker is for it to disappear and not feel like the sound is coming from a speaker. The Blade 1 and CS 3.7 did this better than the Salon 1. 

I also think the KEF LS50 has a better top end than the Salon1. The Salon1 has the rear firing tweeter that the Salon2 does not have.

I heard the Salon2 at a dealer and thought it was similar to my Salon1 but with more top end detail.

I will be buying the Blade 2 in the next 6 months.

@ricred1 . I have heard some dealers say that diff is only in the amount of bass and the room size should be the determining factor.

A reviewer that reviewed the Blade 2 and has heard the Blade 1 emailed me back that he would get the Blade 2 over the 1. He felt it was better than the 1 because it would work in more rooms, even fairly large ones.

There is an A’Gon member that has the Blade 1 in a small room and loves it. He must not play it very loud. The Blade 2 would likely be what I get because I am living in an area with smallish rooms.

@ricred1 Your room is big enough for the Blade 1. I have heard this speaker in a room as big as yours and it just blows my socks off. I have not heard the Blade 2 yet.

@audiotroy I know you love the T+A. How does it sound at low volume? Does it need to be turned up for best performance?
