READ OUR REVIEW: http://bit.ly/2TFDaOt Like the name implies, Ultima is Revel’s ultimate speaker series. It consists of the Gem2 3 way bookshelf at $9,988 a pair, the Studio2 3 way floorstander at $16,000 a pair, the Voice2 center at $8,000 and their masterpiece, the Salon2 at $22,000 a pair. We put a pair of the Salon2s on demo in our Raleigh showroom and almost every person who has listened to them has just been totally blown away at the sound they are producing. When you pull the grill off a speaker in the Ultima 2 series, you are struck by the look of the midrange and bass drivers. Unlike most speakers, the domed dust cap is missing and you see a clean look. Revel used some very exotic materials to have a driver with perfect pistoning characteristics. They use an inverted dome made out of titanium, which also gives them a very cool appearance. Internally the voice coil is wound with flat copper ribbon wiring to increase efficiency and dynamics. The tweeter uses Beryllium with the special Revel waveform that helps match it better to the midrange while also improving dispersion. The front of the speaker cabinets are almost a work of art the way they are sculpted to the size of each driver, but this is also about performance as this minimizes diffraction on the front baffle. The cabinet itself comes in a high gloss black or mahogany veneer that is just beautiful with its curves. The Salon2 and Studio2 come with built in floor isolation stands which raise the speaker up slightly off the floor and Revel developed isolation stands for the Voice2 center and two different height options for the Gem2 bookshelf speaker, a desk stand and a floor standing version. We’ve got the Salon2 paired up with a stack of Mark Levinson gear in our Raleigh location and we have to say, the sound is just spectacular. The bass is super deep, full, yet very tight and precise. We have never had a soundstage quite this big until we set up the Salon2. And just like all the other models, the midrange and treble are totally effortless with never a sense of straining or harshness. The Salon2 also takes fun to a new level! Once you sit down in front of these you will want to keep playing more music and not get up! MUSIC: Ryan Little - http://bit.ly/2RNhNhI
