I suspect that the Harman team will need to come up with a more expensive flagship soon. Not because they need to but because some folks just dont feel justified with a speaker that is only $25K or whatever.
The reason for my thinking is - Revel was created as the speaker "partner" of Mark Levinson. And currently, I believe the top of the line ML amps are in the $50K range, so even more expensive than the Salon2. And (even though I have my opinions on amps and how they differ from each other) nobody is going to pair $50K amps with $25k speakers... right?
If this happens, it will no doubt be a statement piece like this other Harman concept (?)
EDIT: the above is from Harmans Lexicom brand.. I guess the JBL Synthesis would fill that slot of expensive speaker to expensive amp with their $80K Everest option. Honestly, I heard those and would not pick them over the Salon 2's...
