Also, to others on this thread, I notice a few of you have Revel Salon 2's - how come there is no Revel manufacturers section?
Now that you are a Subscriber, the classifieds will become a visible choice for you (look for the Marketplace at the bottom of the table of contents of the Forum).

All areas...I'm not exaggerating. The soundstage is fabulous. Much better bottom end. The musical presentation is fantastic.

Sorry, but it is not really broken in until about 7-800 hrs, imo. It just gets more open, relaxed, "free breathing", and effortless. With those things come increased musicality.
But don't rush it. It is good from the get go, but just gets better! Enjoy the ride.

Great! Almost there. You should no longer experience ups and downs with it. It is up from here in a great way.

Thanks for the insights! Good to hear that I have still over 350 hrs to go, as I liked it a lot already from the beginning!
