I had the f52's and salon1's at the same time and at moderate levels it would have been difficult to tell them apart, f52 ultra tight bass to salon FULL bass, both recessed mids and smooth treble. The Hegel made a pronounced difference in the midrange without penalty anywhere else. ffw, F52 sold, salon1 for sale, old amp sold, Salon2 and H360 seem to scratch the itch. The gentleman I bought my Salon2's from was using the ML 536 and they're without a doubt amazing. I would expect a move to ATI from hegel to be lateral so for now i'll chill, but anybody on a budget with Revels can add Hegel to their short list.
