My pleasure. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. When I get over to the west coast, I'll check out Bananas and give you a shout to see if we can "listen". Scott

Mike,
A very nice room and system! I'm still intrigued about your concerns with power. I have considered trying out the ARC Ref250s. My dealer has cautioned me that the 250 may not have enough power for the Salon 2s. Your comments on the 2301s supports my dealer's concerns. Mike

Anyone who has ever heard the Salon 2's knows that they are among the very best and are a world-class bargain at their price point. Keep the faith. You have great speakers. Also please note that I am pretty much in the same boat. I own speakers that I know to be among the world's finest, and until audioguy3107 - who owns a pair of essentially the same speakers, came on board here on AA, I seemed to be the only person who had ever heard of the things. Mine are Avalon Eidolons - bought new in 1999 and used continuously since that time - audioguy3107 owns a slightly "improved" version - but essentially the same speaker - and I don't give a tinker's damn about lack of interest in this forum because I know that they do things that more highly touted speakers are incapable of doing - plus - one of the most highly respected speakers here - The Wilson speakers, give me a debilitating headache and I can't listen to them for more than five minutes. Also note in my signature that I also have a pair of Audio Physic Caldera 3's - and I'm sure that no one here has ever even seen a pair of those. So, my advice, ignore the fact that you don't get a whole lot of response when you speak of your speakers. Others here are often like lemmings - they follow the leader, and if the leader gets Wilsons, they start looking at Wilson, if Sonus Faber, they look at Sonus Faber and so on down the line. (By the way, I owned my pair of Sonus Fabers long before the leaders here started talking about them.) Stop worrying and enjoy your wonderful speakers.

Julian.......Anyone following me does so at their own risk. I'm not in the band, just a grip.
