Stunning and somewhat iconic speaker. Must be seen and heard in all its glory to fully appreciate
At £4,990, this is right around fair market for the recent GBP comparables: it sits just above the £4,913 median and a touch over the £4,955 75th percentile, so it’s not a bargain, but it’s not meaningfully stretched either. For a clean example, that’s a sensible ask rather than an aggressive one.
The appeal here is the speaker itself: the ULTIMA SALON 1 is a genuinely serious floorstander, known for strong scale, smooth refinement, and the sort of low-distortion, high-resolution presentation that rewards better amplification and placement. If the condition is genuinely good, this is the kind of buy that can save you a lot versus new, and a well-kept pair is worth prioritizing for provenance, original packaging, and intact grilles/spikes if included.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Revel, an American high-end loudspeaker brand, traces its origins to the mid-1990s when Sidney Harman, founder of Harman International, challenged his team to create the world's best speakers, birthing the company around 1996 under Sanford Berlin at Madrigal Audio Laboratories. Harman acquired Revel in 2002, and following Samsung's 2017 purchase of Harman, it gained vast R&D resources while preserving its engineering focus. Based in Stamford, Connecticut, with an acoustics center in Northridge, California, Revel has evolved over three decades into a benchmark for precision audio reproduction.
The brand specializes exclusively in loudspeakers, spanning residential floorstanding and bookshelf models, architectural in-wall and in-ceiling solutions, and rugged outdoor systems engineered for extreme conditions. Revel also supplies premium OEM audio for Lincoln vehicles, showcasing its tuning expertise. Unlike brands venturing into amplifiers, DACs, or headphones, Revel hones a singular pursuit: scientifically validated drivers, waveguides, and cabinets that minimize distortion and deliver uncolored sound.
Revel commands a premium position as the accessible technology leader in luxury hi-fi, cascading advanced materials and blind-tested designs across price tiers to dominate both audiophile and custom-install markets. Competitors like Focal or Sonus Faber often sideline architectural needs, but Revel's comprehensive lines and corporate backing ensure concert-hall fidelity for discerning buyers prioritizing measurable accuracy over boutique aesthetics.
