Revel Ultima 3?

I wouldn't wait for the Ultima 3 even if it was on the way. I still prefer the first series to the second. And I have owned both.

I spoke to Revel recently and there is currently no Ultima Salon 3 in the works. Their R&D Department is just looking at potential ideas.

The Ultima 2 tweeter goes high, but it is not ultra responsive or ultra detailed. Because it goes high it sounds detailed, but it does bridge over detail that a few other tweeters get.....but very few get more detail without some resonance and "false detail". That's how the Salon 2 does the trick of sounding so detailed and yet easy and forgiving of recordings.

This does not take away from the incredible performer that the Salon 2 is. So underpriced compared to the cult and boutique offerings of "high end". A wonderful balance of sound that invites listening and enjoying music, yet with more detail, transparency, and range than any Harbeth or other such "medium detail" speaker.

If you want to hear A LOT but have musicality too the Salon 2 is hard to beat.
