Great move yystandabarbara, the Blades are really impressive, you still may want to consider the Blade ones, as they still sound larger with even greater bass output then the Blade 2.
Personally we have heard the Salon’s and they were nice speakers, never got the same spread of sound with the Salons, they always seemed to sound more like speakers then the way the Blades disperse sound into the room.
The Uni Q is a fantastic driver which becase it is a true point source can do things that a non point source configuration just can’t do.
The Salon’s are still an excellent speaker just one starting to show its age vs some of the newer designs.
All it takes is to read the KEF whitepaper on the Blades to see the remarkable extent of the engineering that KEF went to in creating the Blades drivers.
