I just bought a pair of new Salon 2 in wood. The dealer has been great. He's got 3 pairs left, 2 in black 1 in wood, $12k plus shipping. He only received these from Revel in the last 45 days. Mine are on the truck to me... these are my bucket list speakers... tick... tock. The owner's name is Sean, tell him you saw the posting on ASR. He's been great to deal with. https://www.iq-av.com/ I read a few post here recently that guys can't find them... so I wanted to give you a shot to get these, new, full warranty for $12K? Good Luck.
 
Sheesh, right in Fairfax of all places. I used to live near there.

Sean is the nicest guy.... very helpful and accommodating. I really can't believe that I pulled the trigger on these... but I figured this was a once in a lifetime chance at this price with a warranty about as long as my life expectancy... lol. Carpe Diem!

I doubt you'll regret having Salon2s. One of the few commercial speakers I'd consider.
 
No time for regrets... gotta seize it and squeeze the day.

You have just made my “Ignore” list. Damn you Man, the temptation is strong with this one! :eek:
 
Smoking deal for sure. They are asking $34,000 for them in Canada.
 
As someone who has gone in for the "speakers with amps inside them" route, what are people using as amplifiers for speakers like these?
Amir was using Mark Levinsons, but I believe they are broken. If it was me, I'd just grab one of the latest class D amps with a few hundred watts/ch.

I haven't received mine yet, but I'm going to use my Mcintosh MC7300 and hope for the best.

I totally agree... if I didn't already have my last amp... too heavy to swap out... that's code for I'm too old to swap it out... lol.
 
Mcintosh MC7300
That ought to do very well.

Your Mac should be more than good enough.
 
In any event, they have a pretty tame impedance curve for a passive speaker:

Even at this reduced price point, there are other compelling options worth considering such as the dutch and dutch 8c, perlisten r7t or KEF R11 Meta + great subs. Each has its own pros and cons but they're all excellent options IMO.
 
Tempting…anyone in Chicago interested in a pair of mahogany Gem2’s on pedestal stands?
