| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 I have thought about it, but those are much harder speakers to find in order to get a demo. | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 Henryhk,It looks like you compared the W/P8 to the old Revel Salon and not the Salon2? Your System thread doesn't say you demoed the Salon2 as far as I can tell. Is that correct? Thanks. | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 french fries,I've been moved by both speakers. I'm still finding that the W/P8 is more detailed imaging-wise in comparison. I am going to move the speakers further into the room when they are fully burned-in to see if that will strengthen the imag... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 Just one question-why you toe-in Salon2 so much? It is what they recommend in the Salon2/Studio2 user manual for "optimal imaging and timbre."I do plan on playing around with it more in early March when the speakers have finished burning-in. | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 If you are aware of their shortcoming, why are you posting them?The in-room measurements show how inconsequential a flat frequency response can become once the speaker is placed in an actual room. A speaker that is slightly off of flat can sometim... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 I haven't done careful comparisons yet because the Salon2s are still breaking in. It does seem like the Salon2s are more foregiving, but a little less transparent in the critical mid-range. I have heard more transparency develop during the break-i... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 Dhaan,I'm well aware of how measurements work. I've read the Master Handbook of Acoustics, some portions more than a couple of times. I understand that in-room measurements show the room interaction with the audio output (this is very basic stuff,... | |
| Stereophile review of Escalante Fremont Thanks for the recommendations Shadorne. I ordered them. :D | |
| Stereophile review of Escalante Fremont As for what might cause it to sound muted - I have no idea - in general I would think that a silk dome should almost always sound muted or "polite" relative to a metal one. Generally a more "etched" or exciting sound is the way I describe how ligh... | |
| Stereophile review of Escalante Fremont Ugh... Sorry for the typos. My iPhone likes to correct my good typing with mistakes... | |
| Stereophile review of Escalante Fremont Shadorne,You know the cymbal hits on the Clapton unplugged album first song? What do you think would cause them to be unresolved completely on a Beryllium tweeter? Could it mean more break-in time is needed, or us that part if the nature of this p... | |
| Stereophile review of Escalante Fremont Dhaan, I didn't like the Mini at HE2007... To be fair, the room was completely untreated, which is in and of itself sort of silly. A speaker company should be at least familiar enough with the acoustics of sound in a room to add a curtain and/or s... | |
| Stereophile review of Escalante Fremont Shadorne, What about Beryllium? What sacrifice is made with that material? | |
| Stereophile review of Escalante Fremont Shadorne,No one is questioning that the problem can exist. I am questioning that anyone has heard it on the W/P8. If you have heard it on the W/P8, please provide the material you heard it with (album, song and time). Also, make sure to list the a... | |
| Stereophile review of Escalante Fremont Dhaan,Nope, sorry dude, it is not the same tweeter. |
