Well... Tell me what you guys think! Vandersteen has the advantage of its time/phase coherence. Whereas the salons MAY just have phase... Has anyone listened to both? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
Which Salons? 1 or 2? Personally, I think time and phase coherence are just marketing hype. Some of the best speakers in the world are time and phase incoherent. My advice is just listen and choose that way.
Sure the best thing is to listen to both, but chances are you'll like the Vandersteens better in your home. The dealer will use the many controls in the back to adjust your speaker for your room. Also, because the Vandersteens have their own bass amp, it permits your amp to loaf just on the mids and highs, therefore providing better sound.
I couldnt agree more with String. The Revel is smooth for sure but IMO a touch more forward compared to Vandy. But I do love the Revels looks over the 5A. But its not really about looks so I have to firmly fall in the 5A camp.
