Not a chance. They are downward firing and have bass adjustability on the back of the speaker. The Revel Studio 2's are also worth checking out if your room is small. Same amazing tweeter and adjustability.

okay, didn't know that. I don't think the Salon 1 had adjustable bass. now my interest is piqued.
I don't think it did either. Check out the Revel Studio 2 if your room is a little small. It's the same speaker except for two less bass drivers. Doesn't go down quite as low (obviously), but otherwise, almost indistinguishable from it's big brother. I've owned both the Salon 2 and Studio 2. The Studio 2 is also a little easier to drive.

Joe, my room is large with a vaulted ceiling the issue I have is 'bass bloom' due to the wood sub-floor. Our home is split level and there's 3' of crawl space under the music room. the cavity acts like the body of a wood instrument and boosts the bass (in a bad way). It will require a major remodel to remedy.
Hi Rob,
I know what you mean. I have a crawl space under my listening room, unlike the rest of the house. I seem to be lucky, I don't think I have any problems.

Hi Rob,
I've had the Salon 2's for two years now and I find them to be an incredibly flexible speaker as far as tailoring them to work in a listening room. My room isn't particularly large (21 feet x 14 to 16 feet) and I've never had a bass or treble issue with them. As Mike alluded to, the downfiring woofer port and the ultra smooth beryllium tweeter, combined with the bass and treble attenuation switches, make the Salon 2 one of the most versatile speakers on the market. Even though the speaker is rather large (53 inches tall and 23 inches deep), its narrow profile (14 inches wide) makes it rather inconspicuous in my room. A great design all the way around.
Best,
Ken
... Good health & many endorphins with the new acquisition. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Congrats on the new, old speakers Mark. You gave the upgrade bug a serious try. At least now you know that you've chosen the right speakers and can move on to other things.

Hi Mark,
I'm probably going to keep my Salon 2's around for awhile until I'm sure that I prefer the D3's. The reason I went for the D3's is because they are the best speakers I've ever heard at low to mid volume levels. If I cranked the volume up more often or played more rock, I'm quite sure I wouldn't be making this move. The Salon 2's love to be cranked up.
Best,
Ken

Ken,
Having been down that road, I think you're making a wise decision. You will no doubt love the D3's,as did I, but if I could have both, that would have been the best of both worlds.
The D3's have something about them that is so intoxicating. At low to moderate volumes,they will be hard to beat. But as a man that loves to crank up the volume and "Rock out" on occasion, I needed to go back to what works the best for me.
The Salon's paired with the Hegel H30 is a fantastic combination,and the tweeter is so great that it doesn't bother my tinnutis.
I still think you will prefer the D3's with your habit of listening at low volumes. But now you can have your cake,and eat it too !
