Back in March 1998, Revel's Ultima Salon1 floorstanding loudspeaker generated quite a stir at <I>Stereophile</I> (<A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/96">Vol.22 No.3</A>). Our reviewers were impressed by its seven designed-from-scratch drive-units, its ultramodern enclosure with curved rosewood side panels, exposed front tweeter and midrange, rear-facing reflex port and tweeter, and a flying grille over the mid-woofer and woofers. In the December issue (Vol.22 No.12), the Ultima Salon1 ($16,000/pair) was named <I>Stereophile</I>'s "<A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/features/178/index1.html">Joint Speaker of 1999</A>" for its "big bass, timbral accuracy, low distortion, dynamics, lack of compression, and best fit'n'finish."
