bryston 28b sst2 or levinson 532H

I am looking to upgrade my amp from a Musical Fidelity A5cr that I currently have. The speakers are Revel F52. I am wondering if the extra power of the Bryston 28B SST2 (600w) would give me better performance than the Levinson 532H at 300w. Any comments would be helpful as I will not be able to demo both in my system. Thanks.

Levinson is a safe bet with Revels.

I own the latest 7Bs (similar to 14B but with more capacitance) mated to F52s and they do a very good job. I often think that the bass should be better but it has more to do with a lousy room set-up. While I have never owned a Levinson amp I would suspect that given that the Revel and Levinson products are from the same "stable" that there would be a synergy between them. I would offer that Levinson could be the optimal choice...

I would go with Levinson out of those 2 just for the simple fact that Revel voices their speakers with Levinson amps.
