Revel Salon 1 or-Revel Studio 2??

Revel salon 1 anyday.... I own the Salon 1 and it takes some beating and can be compared to speakers costing many folds more.

I have heard both and I preferred the Salon 2. I actually really like these speakers, but I'm having a hard time getting over the crappy finish. For that money, you would think they could do a better job.

Does anyone think that Audiogon pricing reflects the less expensive materials they used on the Salon 2? Or is it just a reflection of a very high mark-up on a (relatively) mass-produced speaker with many dealers in recessionary times?

The question was Salon 1 or Studio 2! Salon 1 or STUDIO 2.
