Thinking of Kef Blade 2 to replace Revel Salon 2

Great move yystandabarbara, the Blades are really impressive, you still may want to consider the Blade ones, as they still sound larger with even greater bass output then the Blade 2.

Personally we have heard the Salon’s and they were nice speakers, never got the same spread of sound with the Salons, they always seemed to sound more like speakers then the way the Blades disperse sound into the room.

The Uni Q is a fantastic driver which becase it is a true point source can do things that a non point source configuration just can’t do.

The Salon’s are still an excellent speaker just one starting to show its age vs some of the newer designs.

All it takes is to read the KEF whitepaper on the Blades to see the remarkable extent of the engineering that KEF went to in creating the Blades drivers.

I listened to the KEF Blade 2's tonight. I really liked what I heard. To my ears they are neutral, very open, detailed, and completely disappeared. What are the differences between the Blade 2's and Blades?

Silly thought. 

@ricred1 . I have heard some dealers say that diff is only in the amount of bass and the room size should be the determining factor.

A reviewer that reviewed the Blade 2 and has heard the Blade 1 emailed me back that he would get the Blade 2 over the 1. He felt it was better than the 1 because it would work in more rooms, even fairly large ones.

There is an A’Gon member that has the Blade 1 in a small room and loves it. He must not play it very loud. The Blade 2 would likely be what I get because I am living in an area with smallish rooms.

Thanks for the information. My room is 20' x 26'. I really like the Blade 2s; I just don't know if I like them enough to replace my Monitor Audio PL500 IIs. When you already own a speaker it changes the equation.
