What were some other favourable systems you heard? 
Thiel CS7.2 vs Revel Salon2
I owned Salon1 and will buy the Thiel CS 3.7 next. I liked the Thiel CS 3.7 much better than the Salon1 except in the lower frequenies. However, overall I liked the Thiel CS 3.7 better. I have not heard the 7.2 but from what I understand the 3.7 i... 
Persistence sometimes pays off
Your happiness comes though very clearly in your writing. Congratulations. 
Thiel CS3.7 vs WP8?
Hey James63,You pointed me to the Thiels CS3.7 back in Feb 2009 in an Audiogon thread. Thanks for the info. I will be getting this speaker to Enjoy the Music. 
How does Revel Ult. Salon II compare to B&W 800D?
I compared the Salon1 (owned 5 years), Studio2 (audition), B&W 802D (audition), Klipish P-39F (audition), and Thiel CS 3.7 (auditioned a few times) over the last 6 months. The Thiel was an easy choice for my musical tastes. I listen to mostly ... 
Short List of the Best 20K Speakers
I had the original Revel Salons for a long time. I sold them and I will get the Thiel CS3.7 in a little while. I think The Thiel is an incredible sounding speaker. I may not go down as low as the Revel Salon but i think it sounds better overall. I... 
Unhappy with tubes so which transistor amp?
I would check out the Bryston 14B-SST/SQ or a pair of Bryston 7B-SST/SQ monoblocks. They are descibed as having a tube like sound with a massive amount of power. I have the older version 7B-SST which I would not classify as having a tube sound. Th... 
Klipsch Palladium P-37F
I auditioned the P-38F and P-39F. The P-39F was the one I spent listening to the most. I did not have many CD's that day (my stereo and CD's are in storage) but the dealer had Pink Floyd's "The Wall" which I am very familiar with. I was really imp... 
speakers that rock
Man it is a lone day. I meant to say "ears". 
speakers that rock
Klipsch Palladium P-39F sounded very dynamic and lively to these years. Demoed with Rush, Earth, Wind, Fire, Pink Floydhttp://www.klipsch.com/palladium/Home.htmlHowever, a little expensive. Another speaker I liked with similar tunes was Thiel CS3.7. 
Wilson Sophia 2 vs Revel Salon2--fair comparison?
I used the Bryston 4b-SST with the Salon1 and found it was not as powerful as I needed. I listen to music some what loud. I bought the 7B-SST and that worked great. 
Revel Salon 1 or-Revel Studio 2??
To reiterate my observations.1) Prefered Salon1 over Studio22) I never heard the Salon2 but I would think I would prefer it to Salon1 if the Salon2 has similiar level of low end preformance to Salon1. Reason for that this statement was because I t... 
Revel Salon 1 or-Revel Studio 2??
For me, the Salon1 was great but it was not the most exciting speaker for Rock. It was great for everything else. I enjoyed the B&W 802D with my rock records more. I do however listen to a lot of different musical styles.My next speaker will a... 
Revel Salon 1 or-Revel Studio 2??
I had Salon1 for 5 years and listened to the Studio2 at a pretty crappy store last month, it was a no brainer for me. I would go for the Salon1 over Studio2. The Salon1 has a much fuller sound to me. The bass is so much better on the Salon1. I rea... 
Audioengine speakers
Nowadays I have the Audioengine A2 as my main rig :) I use the Benchmark DAC1 to connect directly to the speakers. The source is a modded Slim Devices SqueezeBox playing FLAC recordings.The sound is quite amazing for a small box. The bass is reall...
