| HELP B&W 802D or Revel Ultima Salon2 Jeffkad, there's plenty of life, musicality and slam in my system and I'm not experiencing the issues you discuss. What's your other gear upstream from the Salon 2s? | |
| Pilnius SA-103 vs. Modwright KWA 150SE "So I am hunting for the elusive "perfect amp". I know... what a fool I am."Hey, don't disregard the valor of the attempt! Sometimes that's as important as the result.Well almost, anyway. I could have opted for a Plinius SA-Reference over the SB-3... | |
| Pilnius SA-103 vs. Modwright KWA 150SE Have not heard either. I do own a Plinius SB-301 amp, which is Class A/B. Very happy with it: superb dynamics, excellent bass reproduction and control, wide and accurate soundstage to the point where you can isolate the players, midrange slightly ... | |
| Revel Ultima Solon 2s w/ Pass Labs amps I'll second what your dealer and Tmsorosk said about the Salon 2s coming to life with 300 watts of power, especially in a large room. I'm using a Plinius SB-301 to drive mine (310 wpc into 8 ohms and 470 wpc into 4 ohms, so around 400 wpc at the S... | |

| Speakers for Electrocompaniet Nemo monoblocks? Sashas are very dynamic and have a curved tonal balance emphasizing the highs and lows - I wouldn't call them "boom and sizzle" per se but they are voiced slightly in that direction. Their bass is superb and the highs perhaps a bit bright but deta... | |
| Speakers for Electrocompaniet Nemo monoblocks? I'm not a big B&W fan myself, but here's a review from several years ago echoing the posts here suggesting a pairing with 800Ds:http://www.dagogo.com/View-Article.asp?hArticle=430So it seems there's at least some consensus re: that combo havin... | |
| Paradigm S8 vs. Sonus Faber Cremona M The Revels and Paradigms were at different stores. And the Paradigms were hooked up to the same nice Classe stuff that was also used with their B&W 802s, so neither were they being shortchanged gear-wise nor was the dealer setting me up to go ... | |
| Paradigm S8 vs. Sonus Faber Cremona M "The Signature uses a state of the art Beryllium tweeter, JM Labs, Usher, TAD, Magico and several other top speaker manufacturers use Beryllium based on the metals combination of extremely low mass and superb stiffness which makes a fantastic twee... | |
| Best 80-100 w Amplifier Available Under $4k Used? That guy had the same SA-250 for sale in the fall, for $4250. I offered him $4K and was told not only would he not accept that offer, but that he'd only accept $250 more than his listing price. He then told me he was thinking of keeping it, but wo... | |
| Best 80-100 w Amplifier Available Under $4k Used? You already like the Plinius sound, and supposedly the SA-102 is very similar internally to the SA-103, so that seems a sensible route for you to take. You might also consider the even earlier Plinius SA-100 mk III; there's one listed here for les... | |
| What processor? Difficult room with lots of glass "The Salons are serious power pigs and due to their relatively low efficiency aren't very dynamic (OK guys you can attack now!)"LOL - no attack forthcoming, just some different thoughts.Agreed as to power pigs - I wouldn't feed them anything less ... | |
| revel Salon 2 seating distance The E72 box set was my Holy Grail release - I pestered them to do it for ten years. Of course, it wouldn't be a GD release if Jeff Norman's mix didn't provoke much controversy and argument on deadnetcentral.com, LOL, with anguished cries of "Where... | |
| revel Salon 2 seating distance Diw, here are four arrangements I tried out today. The Salon 2 tweeter height is 49 1/2" and ear height in my rocking chair is 42". Listening material was "Us and Them" from Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, followed by the first "Playing in the... | |
| revel Salon 2 seating distance Judging from your question in the comments following Robert Harley's review of the Salon 2s, I'm guessing you haven't grown any in the interim and that you still haven't fully resolved your vertical axis response concerns to your satisfaction. :) ... |
