| Dynaudio Sapphire vs Revel Studio2 Shadorne, I don't know about the Sapphires, but the Studio2s measure extraordinarily well. So I don't know why you would seek to characterize the speakers as less neutral and/or accurate. If there is any issue there, it is likely going to be a roo... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 BTW, in the previous post I was referring to the V3, since that is what we have been arguing about. My only mention of Magico speakers previous to you bringing up the V3s a couple of times, was to mention that I would like to hear the Minis and th... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 Well, if that is the case, why are you constantly bringing them up?You were the one who brought them up in this thread, not me.After the hole you have dug for yourself, what are the chances you will admit to anything positive about them. I guess t... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 I was never quite sure what exactly Mr. Jkalman has against the Magicos.I thought I had been quite honest about what I disliked about the Magicos when I described my personal experiences hearing them, so I don't know why it is so hard for you to f... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 JK-Please keep in mind that whenever you are going to bring up the V3, you will have to reckon with me.NP, I'm bored and need the entertainment...Not sure what you have against these speakers, but if you want to trash them, at least try and keep i... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 The other three Salon2s I ordered will be arriving next week. By this time next week I'll have a full 5.2 compliment with all Salon2s and Ultima Sub 30s for the two subwoofers.I'm impressed by how these speakers measure compared to the other speak... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 I wish my wife would let me have a second listening room. I would keep both speakers and use them for different listening material... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 No problem, Psacanli. It has been a great learning experience for me. I have more respect for both speakers, all said and done.I would definitely demo both speakers yourself if possible. The best place to do so would be where you will end up liste... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 As per the original poster's questions:I listen primarily to classical and am seeking detail,nuance,microdynamics,soundstage and imaging for a 'being there' sensation as I find any decent speaker is dynamic enough for me.Detail: Mid-range to mid-t... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 Branimir, I kept saying the Magicos were bright sounding when I heard them at HE2007, but a few people got all upset and started attacking my speaker choice and eventually me personally over it. Seeing that large area of +4 dB in the high frequenc... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 The Salon2 works better in my HT setup as a center channel. The vocals are not as natural sounding and open on the Revels, but the bass integrates better. Both are great speakers, but one will work better behind an acoustically transparent screen ... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 Anyone see those Magico Stereophile measurements? I was expecting them to be A LOT better considering all the hype some folks have been spreading around these fora hand-in-hand with insults concerning how other speakers measure graph wise... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 To sum up my experiences:The W/P8 vocals sound more open and natural, while the Salon2 bass sounds more balanced and natural (with the compression setting in the middle setting). The treble on the W/P8 is a little more lively sounding.I expected m... | |
| Considering a change. Avantgarde for Wilson. I demoed the Duos in consideration as an alternative to the W/P8s. I liked the W/P8s better. | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 Dgad,The measurements don't include the subwoofers. If I hook my Revel Sub 30s in and crossover at 80Hz I can eliminate all of the bass issues from 80Hz to below. The subs also have built in PEQ, so I can get a very flat response if I go that way.... |
