Revel Salon 2 in Milwaukee area

Hi,

I am a newbie to hi fi. It always has been a dream of mine to own an ultimate stereo audio system. I have a struggle with chosing a speaker system. My electronics will be Mcintosh.

I auditioned B&W 802 diamonds (THE latest version) and LOVED them. BUT a lot of respected audiophiles recommend Revel Studio 2's or Salon 2's - in that price range.

I found ONLY one Revel dealer in Milwaukee and Chicago area who displayed Ultima2. I went to the dealer and he had a pair of used Studio 2's for audition. It turned out to be a very mediocre experience. I have a feeling it may have been from a bad setup.

Are there any Audiogon member in Milwaukee area who are passionate enough to share his/her Salon 2's for listening session?

Very much appreciated for the conseideration.

Many quality speakers have a neutral well balanced nature that doesn't impress upon first listen . But that neutrality is of paramount importance when designing and building a great system .
Make no mistake , the Salon's and Studio's are world class speakers .

I have a pair of Salon 2s. These are terrific speakers.

I certainly would recommend you attend RMAF in Denver. The Revels as well as other superb speakers will be on display and ready for audition. This event is only 2 weeks away. Probably the best opportunity to you'll have in the short term to audition.
