I started out with Axioms, moved to Paradigm Sig8s then to the Salon2s. I think it's the fact of Toole focusing on BOTH the subjective and the objective that breeds success in speaker design. Many other manufacturers focus on on or other of those aspects but not both. Axiom tries to do a good job but they don't have the expensive gear and their subjective testing is a little cut-corner compared to Toole's, Paradigm comes close but I think that they focus too much on affordability an thus end up cutting corners too. No doubt, in order to make their speakers affordable Revel does a little trimming but, I'd be hard pressed to say where that takes place.

I also got my Salon2s in late 2015. I have only had three pairs of speakers since 1998! B&W 803 Matrix until 2013 when ordered Salk SS8s which were very nice until I heard the Salons. I was completely in love with them and they are great. I almost bought Paradigm SS8 but I am really happy with my Salons!
