I had the studio 2’s. The ability to adjust treble and bass was great
Revel Salon 2’s (used) or new Magico A-3 (new) ??
Have recently heard the Salon 2’s and think they are incredible. (I owned the Salon 1’s previously
and now own Golden Ear Triton Reference)
i love the Refs, and they can be considered keepers for sure, but think I may like the Salon 2’s
more, but of coarse did not hear them in my house.
I have heard them twice now, and was super impressed (as was my wife the last time) and think
i May make the plunge.
My budget for this last speaker purchase will be ~$11k ish, give or take. So having said that, the other speaker on my radar is the new to be released Magico A-3, but don’t think I can have a pair in my hands for another 3-4 months.
Has anyone heard the new Magico at Axpona, that has experience with he Salon 2’s?
I’m solid on Salon 2 if I can find the right deal (have seen them going for $9k now) I may grab
a pair. I have a local pair lined up for $11k.
So, wanted to take a brief poll and see if anyone has the experience with the two pair in question.
Thanks in advance!

Make no mistake, the Revel Salon 2s are still, after all these years, Stereophile Class A+ Recommended speakers for a reason, they're just that good!!! These speakers are still an absolute bargain at their retail price, let alone what you could get them for pre-owned. Recently, I attended one of the very large High End Audio shows, and what they were asking for most of the newfangled speakers was just mind-boggling. I heard so many megabuck speakers that I though were extremely overpriced. At the show, for the $$$$, I didn't hear one pair of speakers that could pry me away from my Salon 2 speakers. The Salon 2s check all the audiophile boxes and is definitely an end-game speakers. Phenomenal Speakers, from top to bottom!!! |
+1 @kennymacc The Salon 2's are a great value. Used for around 12k they are amazing. For a small room the Studio 2's offer much of the same sound.... |
