Revel Salons...time for a new version?

Notwithstanding the whole Harman/Madrigal mess, it seems that these speakers are due for a new version. Off late, I've seen the Andra II, the Focal JMLabs Be and a few others. I did see that Revel just came out with a new sub. Anyone know what Mr. Voecks is working on? Are his hands tied by the Harman reorg.? Any info is appreciated. Andy

Go to secrets of home theater and hi fi web site and read the new interview with Kevin Voeckes. In it he states that the Revel Salon still holds up and there is no plan to try to improve it. A fantastic speaker.
Great products don't always need to be upgraded - they're still great.

I do not see any technological breakthroughs in speaker design lately. Most new versions are shaping and tweaking the basic design and are probably driven by market attitudes such as those of the OP.

Do you really think that all new speakers are an advancement in sound reproduction? Surely you must feel better that the prices keep going up, since that has to be the best guaranty of great sound! Next, surely, will be the question “Why are there so many Revel Salons for sale on Audiogon”. The manufacturers have to love these types of posts!
