Revel Salon 2’s (used) or new Magico A-3 (new) ??

Sciencecop, unfortunatly you have me at a disadvantage I don't know who you are? 

As per lack of credibility lets see who is more credible?

Me 30 plus years industry experience, top salesman at Sound by Singer for 10 plus years, Top salesman Innovative Audio for 3 years.

Owner of Audio Doctor 15 years, did several major audio shows in NYC, including Chester Audio's shows, as well as a Amex Technology and Lifestyle expo.   

Our company Audio Doctor was featured on Rev Runs Rennovation, where we built a Home Theater from scratch for Rev Run. 

Over those years have owned and sold most of the major audio brands on the market and setup 100's of systems and sold 1,000's of components.

Our store has one of the largest collections of high end audio in the New York Metro area with some of the best brands of audio on display

Please explain how we are not credible and you are?

Someone mentioned Focal Kanta 2 and those were among the most impressive speakers I heard at a show in Stockholm. The Wilson Sabrina also sounded good although only played at a low volume and might be found 2nd hand within your price range.

If you want something unique you could try Lukase, they had the best midrange I've heard that day. Sadly only available in Sweden as far as I know and their bass did overload the small show room but I'm hoping I get to hear them in a bigger room someday.

A pristine set of Salon 2’s would put a big smile on your face(op) and serve you well for many years. Be wary of the packing as it is the only weak element. 

In my opinion, (and not to be disrespectful) asking a dealer his opinion, will usually be limited to his products. And that's fine, it just should be disclosed. Similar to CNBC stock market recommendations when a guest discloses whether or not they own the stock. 

I for one, can appreciate someone like Audio Doctor giving advise even if they are a dealer. It’s kind of what I want & need (as I’m sure many people asking questions like mine would also appreciate) as I am kinda flying blind in that I cannot possible see everything out there. They did not try to sell me anything and only giving advise on what they like & hear. Just like me talking to all my friends about Audio.
But, just to be fair, and make everyone feel better, I am going to put Audio Doctor in a big “time out” with there noses on the chalkboard until they realize what they did wrong!
The only way I will let them out early is if they redeem themselves and sell me a pair of Revel, Paradigm’s or Legacys at their cost! 😉😜
