In Reply to: Anyone heard or even bought the Revel Studio2 or Salon2? Are they a big step up from the original models? (nt) posted by Guy F on January 28, 2008 at 04:46:08:

As a former speaker designer (Avalon), I can tell a fair amount from just the specs and photos. The parts you can see (eg, the drivers and the cabinets) should be significantly superior to the first generation designs. All that leaves are the parts you can't see -- the crossovers, the internal wiring, and the connectors.

Based on the parts you can see, I would say that they definitely deserve an audition. And if the parts you can't see aren't up to snuff, you could always do a parts upgrade yourself.

One problem may be finding a place to audition them. They never really seemed to catch on very strongly with the dealers. Good luck and let us know what you find out.
