I have Salons and I know how good they can and do sound! Like Kr4, I had SF Power 3's but felt like the Salons were being held back.I tried several SS amps (200wpc Sim, Levinson 336). The realism just was not there. I found a Berning ZH-270 and now the music just poors out with great speed,tight bass,midrange female vocals to impress just about anyone and no rolling off of the upper end.
