Revel Salon 2 vs. Revel Studio 2


I am thinking of either of these as my next speaker. I had some Von Schweikert VR4SRs for a couple of years before this. I have been messing around listening to some smaller speakers and monitors. I want something full range. All that I can read suggests the Revels will perfectly suit my system and tastes (Parasound JC-1 amps). My room is 18x26x8 and is wood floor on joists with carpet (no slab) I've always struggled to get real bass in this room. The VS were pretty good down really low but suffered in the mid bass region. I can pretty much do what I want in this room, but it is my living room so I don't want tube traps and treatments all over it.

I like the idea of the smaller size of the Studios but don't want to sacrifice to much either. Hearing these for myself is out of the question since there is no dealer anywhere near that has them.

Just wondering if anyone has done some real comparing of these and can offer up some advice.

Thanks, Ryan

I was more meaning that I can put the speakers where I want. I am hoping it can still look normal and sound good.

Sorry Bob, sounds like I struck a nerve. Needless to say I think this room sounds better, a lot better than my dedicated 15x19x9 room with trap and treatments all over it. It's just tough to get the bass right and I'm starting to think it has more to do with the room than the gear.

Thanks for the input. I'm thinking I'll go Salons. I'll follow up after I get them.

I just noticed there about seven Salon 2s for sale right now at very attractive prices. What gives?
