Revel Salon 2

Jump on it!!! To this day, even with so many newfangled high dollar speakers coming out of the woodwork, I still very rarely hear another pair of speakers that I would trade my incredible Revel Salon 2 speakers for, especially for the money.

That’s a screaming deal. Don’t walk, run and buy it!

But make sure to find out why it’s  priced so low. Hope it’s not a case of ‘too good to be true’

I would offer 6K for it just to make sure it's not sold to someone else before I get there.

With the drivers not being available for replacement pricing for speakers drop quickly. Those tweeters are the reason I didn’t buy a pair. They were offered last year at $5k CAD which is around $3,700 ish USD. Any issues at all its a major issue. I chose Krell Resolution 1’s- the ring tweeter is cost effective and the mid’s are under $400/ea if anything happens.... As long as it’s not the 8" driver which is almost $1k.

If I needed to replace that Salon 2 tweeter I would expect to pay at least $1k/ea

The other thing to keep in mind about the Salon 2s is their low sensitivity, which results in their demand for high power. Their designer recommends amps of 500 watts or more, and while of course they'll play with less they really open up and come to life with very powerful amps. Their excellent beryllium tweeter is also very revealing, so not only does the amp have to be high power but very refined or they can sound hard and edgy. If you can't pair them with a well matched amplifier there may be better choices.
