As the kids say:
I was like, you know, this is not awesome. It will get sorted, not a big deal but you don't want to lay these things on their sides more often than you have to. |

I noticed on the Stillpoints website there was no adapter listed for the Salon 2's. Which one did they tell you was correct? I sent them an email earlier asking if they had an application for the Salon 2's.

John may know, but I don't which Stillpoints SKU suits this application. I was hoping the supplied spikes would be a good starting point. I had considered lubricaing them. I usually use beeswax (or WD40)as that stuff makes driving fasteners much easier but I decided to just quit and see what advice Revel has to offer. They really don't feel remotely like they fit, and I consider myself a half competent shade tree mechanic. I can chase the threads of the spikes, or the captive nuts for that matter, but I'm not going to guess at the diameter and pitch of the nuts as I have no way to measure blind captive fasteners.

Contact Ivan. He got me mine from Stillpoints for my Studio 2's. Fit perfectly. The Ultra 5's made a very obvious improvement over the spikes. But you have to make sure you do not tighten the fives tight under the speakers. The fives must me loosened about 1/4 turn otherwise they do not sound correct. Properly installed they float the speakers apart from the floor. Everything just floats beautifully apart from the speakers and they disappear completely all the way to the lowest bass notes. Lovely

The salon2s are beautifully resolving yet easy to listen to. Speaking of resolution, this will get resolved, (I trust) without sending anything back. I don't want them to leave the room for several reasons. I'm undeterred. |

Regarding the inserts, Revel is sending me a replacement base. Tat's the easiest way to resolve this as the base is bolted on via four bolts so a very easy repair. Their service was prompt, responsive and friendly. I am returning the existing base to them for after I get the new one in. I thought they'd like to see it.
I remain head over heels regarding these marvelous speakers. My daughter wants the 208s. I want to see the color of her money. |
