To my knowledge there is no evidence indicating an Ultima 3 is even on the drawing board. If history means anything, the original Salon had a ten year lifespan. The Salon 2 I believe came out in late 2007 or early 2008.
The Ultima 2, I own the Studio 2, still compares favorably with the current state of the art. There are so many used Ultima 2 bargains out there I would have no hesitation. I still can't figure out how Revel managed to come up with a tweeter that, at the same time, is so transparent and revealing, yet is smooth and easy on the ears. The Salon 2 review in the Absolute Sound said it best. It really does make bad recordings easier to listen too.
