Hello Enigmatic and others who have contributed, I noted your interesting observations re the salon 2. I have seen an asr 2 exclusive for 20k usd for my revel salon 2 however wonder if it is worth the money. I will not be able to demo it as I live in Canada. Do you think it is much better than a 532 at 10k usd or a Bat vk 600?
My recommendation is PASS the X250.5 or X350.5 I used the X250.5 with my Revel F52's and they sing. I know its not in the league of a Salon, but its a good speaker with the same characteristics.
Bass slam is awesome, the amp is very neutral. You can find them used for 4500+ and up.
Looking at your original post, I would go with the Krell FPB 400cx, this amp is far better than what others here know about this amp, and if you can get your hands on a 700cx, even better!
