Miss much from salon 2 to studio 2?

Was about to pull the trigger on a pair of revel salon 2. But my dealer thinks that with the amount of funds I have available that upgrading my proceed amp5 to a sim audio and studio 2 would be a better use of my money than moving to a pair of salon 2.

Is he right? I have a classe ssp 800

I have the amp 5 and used to own Revel Studio 1 and I can tell you that the amp 5 does not have enough power to drive the Studios. The Studio 2 and 1 have similar sensitivities.

I now have Salon 2 and drive them with 450W amp. The Salon 2 needs lots of power to bring them alive.

Thanks. So sell the amp 5 and pick up a sim audio w5 or w8 and studio 2 is the deal.

Your dealer sounds like he is giving you good advice for the best bang for the buck , but I would evaluate your financial situation and find the extra funds for the Salons . There are a better sounding speaker and they alleviate the issue of tinkering with aftermarket subs , and all the extra cords cables ect , ect .
