Revel Salon 2 vs Vandersteen 5a Carbon

How did you come to the 2 finalists? I'm sure everybody would have another recommendation for you.

I have heard the 5A Carbons many times at the Audio Connection before they were discontinued. They are great speakers with an amazing midrange. The high frequencies with the Carbon tweeter make music so natural sounding that you will listen late into the night. The bass is fully adjustable to your room using the 11 band equalizer.

Overall , a great speaker. You might want to go over to the Forum on the Vandersteen website where you will find owners of the 5A Carbon that will be able to give you a more thorough description of the 5A Carbon sound.

I own Vandersteen Treo CT's. Good Luck!

Thank you.

I narrowed my selection based of all the positive accolades I have read over the last several years. I know there will be many more options but I am trying to simplify the process.

The salon2 needed more power than my 250/425wpc amp could provide and I let them go. The Vandy's I've heard had huge mids with a  kinda thick bass and a soundstage that made me wonder if they were wired in phase.
