Sold Out - Revel Salon2 New Stock w/ full warranty $12k plus shipping

[Astoneroad]

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.

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!

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.

3 pairs left as of an hour ago, 2 black, 1 wood. Ignore if you must. We tellers of truth are used to it... you should know... lol.

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:

Revel Ultima Salon2 loudspeaker Measurements

Sidebar 3: Measurements My estimate of the Revel Ultima Salon2's voltage sensitivity was 86dB(B)/2.83V/m. This is slightly lower than the specified 86.4dB but within experimental error of that figure. The speaker's impedance (fig.1) drops to between 3 and 5 ohms between 17Hz and 600Hz, but as...

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.

 

[Doodski]

Nawww. Salon2s are awesome. Lotsa technology and the grunt to back it up from what I've read.

Tempting…anyone in Chicago interested in a pair of mahogany Gem2’s on pedestal stands?
