Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8

BTW, in the previous post I was referring to the V3, since that is what we have been arguing about. My only mention of Magico speakers previous to you bringing up the V3s a couple of times, was to mention that I would like to hear the Minis and the Salon2s in a "properly treated" environment. Though I guess that shouldn't be necessary seeing as JV, whose TAS review raved about the Mini speakers, doesn't seem to use any room treatments except those Shakti Hallographs...

Here is the exact post where I mention the Minis, then some of your posts following that one start mentioning the V3:

I'm still trying to find an environment where the Magico Minis have been set up well in my area. The Salon2 and the Magico Mini... Two speakers I would love to hear properly.

I have nothing personal against your speaker of choice (I noticed yesterday that you own a pair of V3s, because you mentioned it in another thread). I do consider your behavior towards me reprehensible though...

Reprehensible ?? Please… Anyway, thank you for throwing me a bone (Magicos look good...). I feel so much better now. So, can we please move on?

Bar81,
Right on if you are referring to Robert Harley and The Absolute Sound.
I believe they are becoming irrelevant when they don't even consider measurements of value in todays climate of genuinely significant technological improvements-on all fronts in the loudspeaker field.
These armchair reviewers delighting in the discussion of a "darker" or "more syrupy" sound are reading too many coffee, wine and cigar ads, and perhaps should be reviewing the same.
Kudos to Kevin Volks, Keith Johnson and others like them contributing so much to not only significantly enhanced music reproduction but also our understanding of the technical requirements for such advances to occur.

Wow, reading up a bit (above) this is certainly not a glowing recommendation for the Rives designed rooms. Two expensively designed, almost cost no object rooms, both with bass problems? I would have suspected that paying the big bucks for a professional designer geared toward audio performance would prevent such an occurance. After these issues were found, how did the design company respond and address the issues? Any warning in advance that these issues would be present upon completion of the rooms?

Ckoffend,

I also had the same thought as you after reading the same. But I know even more people with rooms designed for acoustics w. problems. I honestly believe room size & shape is a problem. In that regard I will add to your question.

Was the room space in full control of Rives, or was a basic shape demanded that needed to be maintained?
