@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.
