I agree that the Salon 2 need SLAM. The Mcintosh has slam but the slam is not refined. 2 subwoofers with Room Correction on my Anthem STR Preamp do the trick on the bass slam very well but the Mc's mid and high is not smooth and lack of 'flow'.The Salon 2’s need SLAM! With the wrong amps, they can sound like to woofers are broken. You need a bottom up amp. Bass first amp. May I suggest an Antilleon Evo.
The M900’s are beautiful sounding, wonderful mids and highs, but they aren’t a bass first amp.

Luxman M900U is affordable in my country and it is only $10k for each here, I do like the silky smooth sound of the Luxman. I guess the 2 subwoofers will also do the trick on the M900U because I let the subs handle the sub-bass region (below 60hz) just like what I did with the Mcintosh. Do you think the trick works?
The Gryphon is overpriced and not available for demo in my country, I wouldn't want to spend that much money for something I can't audition.
