Aren't they old tech by now compared to Perlisten S7t And KEF Blade 2 Meta ?

~ 86dB sensitivity? I couldn't do anything with that.

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

Is it a deal like these salons?

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

C'mon, you shouldn't dismiss what I said without anything concrete backing it up.

I know they are legendary and were SOTA when they were released, but what makes them objectively preferable to the other options I mentioned? One thing I can think of is how loud and clean they can play given enough power. Anything else? I'm genuinely curious

Also, op congrats on nabbing a pair of these legends. I'm definitely jealous!

You want to compare them all? That's a bit more work than I'm ready for atm. I'm into speakers but not like the speaker gurus are here @ ASR. I figured, "Hey a nice guy is buying some speakers and I'll try to give him some support." That's all. You can relax.

I wish Revel would slice the top off of the Salon 2 and offer it as a standmount:

Thanks for having my back Doodski... but nuthin' is gonna harsh my buzz!!! There will always be more questions than answers... kinda why we're here. I'm in Vegas, smokin' legal weed, waiting on my Salons.... I'm not second guessing anything.

Las Vegassss YeaH! I like it there. Been there 3 times for the CES paid for by API. Got a sunburn at the laser light show at a nightclub and arrived back @ the hotel at 8:30am. Was a long night.

Gem2 is a little better than that in some ways: same MT, bigger woofer. OTOH baffle sculpting isn’t on the same level, and they only come with a wall mount. The tabletop stand and floor pedestal are both considerable extra cost for what they are, and you can’t use normal stands because the bottom is angled.

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.

Well done. You won’t regret it. It has been 10+ years I own a pair and having demoed almost any speaker de jour, side-by-side, I still have them.

What is your amplifier. They need power!

PS. This will put an end to they are no longer manufactured palaver, I hope.

That will be a disaster.

 

[sarumbear]

As someone who has gone in for the "speakers with amps inside them" route, what are people using as amplifiers for speakers like these?

2x AHB2 in mono

Thanks. Mcintosh MC7300, specs posted earlier. I talked to the store owner and he said he placed the order a long time ago and this was part of the last production run that he received 6 weeks ago. That's seems to be why this deep discount.

Yep. They're icky. You wouldn't like them

 

[amirm]

FYI $12K is the new retail price for Salon 2! Not sure what is going on there. I asked them for inventory a few weeks ago and they said there isn't any. I have email into them to find out if it is an end of life clearance or what. They are insane value at this price.

Edit: I was wrong. The price was for each unit so no official discount.

No alu,stay away

I would love to have them, but they are too big for my listening room. Maybe I could divorce my wife and evict her from the den where she watches TV. That's a plan, LOL.
