Revel Salon2 vs Wilson Sasha


I'm interested in impressions from people who have auditioned both. Not really looking for what is 'better' (as it's all subjective anyway), but more for characteristics of each, where they are similar, where they differ, etc.

I found the Sasha's very capable but a tad bright and slightly constricked in both the systems I heard them in , for my tastes . The right power and lots of it might make them shine .
The Salon's seemed more natural and relaxed in comparison . Although they sounded fine with Levinson gear , they became almost magical with the fuller , warmer Vitus amps .
In-room Response Relative to Target Response 31Hz to 18kHz ±0.5dB remarkable flat response, very impressive. the wilson looks like a roller coaster in comparison.
this is, to again use the phrase, an extraordinarily smooth, flat response, especially when you consider that it was taken in an actual room rather than an anechoic chamber. As LG noted, the speaker offers full output down to below 20Hz. Turning to the time domain, the Salon2's step response on the tweeter axis (fig.9) indicates that all five drive-units are connected with the same positive acoustic polarity, and that each one's step smoothly hands over to that of the next lower in frequency, this correlating with the excellent frequency-domain integration of their outputs. The Revel's cumulative spectral-decay plot on the tweeter axis (fig.10) is superbly clean in the region covered by the tweeter
the Revel Ultima Salon2 offers superb measured performance. It is a pleasure to be able to measure such a well-engineered loudspeaker. JA , stereophile
I have listened to both and I like the Salon2 much better because it has a better sound stage. One can distinquish high/mid/low on the Salon2. For me, there is not thing unique aout Sasha, IMHO. I found B&W 800D or within 800 series are sound much better than Sasha. If you are seeking clear/transparency then you should audition for Focal Maestro. It's best to drive the Revel with Mark Levinson.
