 What reviewers have said:

Stereophile: Stereophile speaker of the year in 1999.  Rated Class A Full Range Loudspeaker.  “Groundbreaking design with superb integration of the entire audio spectrum. To quote Wes Phillips, "If you can resist them, you have far more self-control than I pretend to."  All told, Larry Greenhill was very sad to hand the Revel speakers back to the truck driver. “

AV Review:  “There are few speakers in the world that compare to the Revel Salon. I found this loudspeaker to possess the dynamics, transparency, detail and finesse to make it my favorite loudspeaker to date.”

AV Review Revel Ultima Salon

Manufacturer Description: 

The Revel Salon is a four-way system with seven drive-units: two tweeters (1.1" on the front and 0.75" on the back), one 4" midrange, one 6.5" midbass, and three 8" woofers. These are set into a two-part cabinet more than a foot wide, more than two feet deep, and over four feet tall. The bottom section houses the midbass unit and the three woofers with their mica- and carbon-filled copolymer domes, all hidden behind the flying front grille. The woofers are reflex-aligned with a port tunnel 16" long and 4" wide, which flares to a 6"-diameter opening on the Salon's rear panel, just below the rear tweeter.   Kevin Voecks, the Salon's designer, claims this multiple driver system better handles large dynamic bass peaks, dissipating heat buildup before it can cause compression. The large, flaring port was designed to not make "chuffing" sounds when the Salon is driven at high levels. Besides the reflex port and second tweeter, the rear panel features four gold-plated speaker terminals for biwiring, a low-frequency compensation control that gives ±2dB adjustment at 43.9Hz, and separate level controls for the front and rear tweeters.
