My 15 yr old Ultima Salon is having the same issue. I tried to take the tweeter and midrange but cannot even after taking all the screws off. It’s a beast 200lbs of a speaker to carry to a local repair shop. What to do? Any ideas?

Is there some way to warm the frame so as to possibly weaken the glue bond? Constant pulling pressure over time may loosen it up. Like removing a sticker. If you slowly pull them off the sticker won't rip. Just a guess.

So, I gave this some more thought. Now you might want to seek out other opinions about this, but what about heating the frame by touching the screw hole with a soldering iron. Getting the frame warm, but not too hot that the cone's glue comes un-done. Then using some type of hook to try and pull the frame from the seal.

I hope this is helpful.

I found 1 thread that the owner didn't have to destroy the driver to get it out, most have to destroy the cone and pry the basket out. as to replacements Revel is no worse than other companies that only guarantee supply for 10 years after model discontinuation' 

I had the same experience as @amhifi. I managed to remove the drivers without damage and cleaned out the voice coil gap on both of my Salon 1 midranges with success. It was detailed work but not hard. If anyone is interested I can write up some details about how it was done and the tools required.
