First owner. Excellent condition. There is nothing I can say about this perennial favorite that hasn't already been said in the audio press. Here are some notable comments...

"The Revel Ultima Salon2 is the best-performing, most natural-sounding full-range loudspeaker I have auditioned in my listening room since I started writing for Stereophile in 1984. The Revel design team has smoothed the Salon1's upper midrange while retaining that award-winning speaker's powerful bass extension, timbral accuracy, and superb dynamics. The result is an open and transparent top end, an utterly neutral and grain-free midrange, and bass that is extended and pitch-perfect. The Ultima Salon2 does all this while sounding completely neutral, with top-to-bottom smoothness, coherence, and remarkable resolution of detail.

While $22,000/pair is a lot of money, the quality of this loudspeaker equals that of others costing up to three times as much. In the Salon2, Kevin Voecks and his team have produced far more than a cosmetic upgrade of the Salon1. They have created a new reference standard in floorstanding loudspeakers that has earned my strongest recommendation."

Larry Greenhill (Stereophile)

 

"The Salon2’s treble reproduction was quite simply the best I’ve heard from a dynamic loudspeaker. The top end was highly detailed, but not in a brash or analytical way.

The Salon2’s coherence is breathtaking; it sounds very much like a full-range electrostatic rather than a complex four-way, six-driver cone loudspeaker—that is, there’s no sense of discontinuity between drivers, just a seamless musical fabric from top to bottom. The treble’s integration with the midrange is by far the best I’ve heard from any multiway loudspeaker.

Bottom-end extension was outstanding…soundstaging was absolutely sensational. When fed from a first-rate front end playing a recording with abundant space, the Salon2 disappeared into the soundstage and floated images."

Robert Harley (The Absolute Sound)

 

"This speaker will bring out the chills in most people with its refined demeanor, and yet it has a wild side: it will thrill those who thrive on being pounded and banged as well as those who enjoy coming as close as possible to the heft that a full-blown symphony orchestra conveys. At the same time, the Salon2 is capable of captivating the listener with its alluring ability to resolve delicate details and create those treasured moments of rapt involvement. This is a finely honed loudspeaker that is destined to please many people while covering the vast spectrum of musical tastes and the associated performance demands.

And you know something, the Salon2 has list price of $22,000. If you have read the whole review then you know how great a bargain the Salon2 really is. For me, it is a testament of what is possible when pricing is approached with realistic profitability in mind instead of attempting to impress with pricing numbers that may not have any bearing on actual value.

The Revel Salon2 has my highest possible recommendation. "
