How do you like the Studio2s as compared to the Salon1s?
The Studio2's have a wonderful midrange and tweeter. Fantastic detail.
The Studio2 tweeter is kinder to marginal recordings and not as fatiquing. I had the Salon1's rear tweeters turned off for this reason.
However, the bass is not in the same league, especially when played at low level.
You hear the bass but it lacks the depth and force.
I find myself wanting to raise the volume on the Studios in search of more bass with 2 channel recordings(without a sub). I would not be happy with them without a subwoofer as I was with the Salons.
I never felt the need for loudness compensation with the Salons but I do with the Studio2's.
My room is 30 feet long and open on the side and rear and these are not enough speaker for it.
They will make excellent rears.
I would not be happy with the Studio2's to replace the Salons.
I have been using the Voice2 for a while now, and it was a better match with the Salons than the Voice1. Many TV shows, like Elementary, have the actors swallowing the MIC. The sibilants used to bother me with the Voice1 but don't with the Voice2.
