Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8

I suggest you try the escalante fremonts!!!! I have owned the wilson 7's and for under 20k the fremonts are untouchable!! They do everything so well and can satisfy both tube and solid state. They are very dynamic, very fast, very delicate, maintain a flat 8 olhms, are 93 db effient, and have midrange and bass to die for as well as a non fatigueing high end that rivals the vr9's from von schweikert. I have owned them both and they are quite a revelation. Sorry to change threads but I had to interject.

heard them both, the salon2 without question is the best speaker I have ever heard, regardless of cost. puts most other speakers to shame, including any of the wilsons. If you like forward bright sound the wilsons might be your thing, but the revels have the best intergration of drivers
I have ever heard ,more real timbre than anything I have heard, the most natural midrange with gobs of detail, in all the revels just sound far less colored than most other
speakers including the older revels. sorry I actually like
wilson speakers in generall , I just think that the days of wilson being the best speaker out there are over. other speakers have caught up and serpassed them in technology.

Hi Fries,
It is utterly amazing- that dissection you speak of-and it can only be done with an extremely analytical approach.
I admit to listening that intense way when I am introducing changes to my Spectral/MIT system. For example- I have the polarity marked on the 6 AC Enacoms I use(manufacturer says
they have no polarity; but I find a significant improvement by confirming the polarity(and I also use Equitech balanced power and MIT conditioning &isolation products & MIT's upper end PCs). I realize I'm very fussy but I find it's worth it for my enjoyment of complex, dynamic orchestral music in particular.
I guess that HP is that way about all reproduced sound; it is his job; but when the sound lacks music-I would find it a dreary, boring task.

Chrissain, your post is noteworthy for sure as you like Wilsons. It sounds like the salons are remarkable.

His post wasn't clear to me.

And then..

I actually like wilson speakers in generall

Leaves me puzzled. Maybe it is just my biased Wilson ownership keeping me from understanding this. Further, I have no brightness issues with my W/P's as he affirms.

I just think that the days of wilson being the best speaker out there are over.

Whoever said they were?
