Revel Salon 2

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.

If you have a room in which they can thrive and are willing to set them up properly to deliver what they are capable of, then this is a screaming good deal you will be hard pressed to match, let alone beat. Highly accurate for real music truth.

@piebaldpython I looked at Revel's website and they show the Salon 2 still for sale in their linup. Are you saying that Revel is selling new speakers but would not supply replacement drivers? How would they honor the warranty?

I would absolutely jump at the chance to buy a pair of Salon 2's for $5K. They are one of the best speakers ever made and sat in Stereophile's Class A designation for years. @bill_k has a good point about amplification. They have low sensitivity and a difficult impedance curve. They should be driven with a beefy solid state amp like Krell, Pass, Levinson, or something similar that doubles power with each halving of the impedance.

They are great . look at the review.they are made by jbl.you can always put a satori berillium tweeter in if they fail 300$ from madisound.i do fun mine with a 1kw amp.enjoy the music
