Salon 2's vs Radio C3.1

[Mike]

Is the reason for this level db limit to prevent the woofers from making this popping sound you guys were discussing on the Shark forum?

John

Yes. On the Dag amps - if the meters stay at or
below 100 watts - no popping.

I've heard the Salons at CES, and I found them to be a little bass shy. They were driven by all Levinson stuff in the Harman HPAV room. I found that the less expensive JBL 1400 Arrays (again driven by Levinson) sounded better to me.

I haven't had the opportunity to hear Raidho. But, I see they're hotter than chicken right out of the fryer, so I will try to hear them at CES.

Being a person that never really liked the Salon 2s, but only had heard them at various CESs. I have now heard them in a home, in a large room, they are very very good and are not bass shy.

Shows do not show real listening conditions.

I see. Well, that's cool. Fair enough. I would agree with you on that point.
