Revel Ultima 2 Line?
 
Anyone have any experience with these? Salon2, Studio2, Gem 2?

Do they warrant this statement?
Stereophile: Revel Ultima Salon2 loudspeaker
Quote:

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.

Like I mentioned in another post about choosing speakers. It will come down to synergy with partnering gear. An ultra linear, revealing speaker like the Revel Salon2 will require refined sounding partnering gear and a room that addresses their needs. I'm sure if those conditions are met, it would be a very impressive system.

Do you mean smooth, like Lamm, or even McIntosh? As opposed to Krell which may be too forward with a revealing speaker?

That would depend on personal preference. Any of those 3 as well as another dozen of others can make someone very happy depending on their listening preference. One person's resolving, open and detailed is another's fatiguing, hyper analytical and too revealing.

Awesome Dave. Congrats. Will you sell the ML's, or use them in another application?
