Then let your ears tell you what sounds best. Your owners manual explains how to bi-amp your speakers. Maybe 4 601's would do the trick, but if it was me I'd want to hear the 1.2's also. |

You should ask Dan about the differences in "sonic signature" of the 601's.
He wrote a very nice review of the 601's and has a ton of knowledge about McIntosh gear. He also owns both the 2301's and the 601's. |

May be too late to reply this.
But i do love my Salon2. Regret selling them. I just needed money to buy new amp, but end up buying cheap amp Than planned. But Revel has gone. As you already knew , it s current hunger. Even larger speaker cables will improve bass. I successfully drove them with Moon W7M, vitus ss101, pass xa160.5, Arc ref250. But not so well with ML 436, pass x350.5, mc402. Spike and spike disc can also change tonality, pls try. I am sure salon2 has better treble than that of my new magico q3. I got the most beautiful voice from them driven by ref250. But most punchy out of Moon and Pass. Toga |

I would me very interested to hear about your experiences driving them with the xa160.5's. I sold mine too and do miss them. But my Strads have filled the void nicely. There were some things that the Salon 2's did better than the Strads and visa-versa. No speaker is perfect I guess. Mike |
