MC462 enough to handle Revel Salon 2’s?

Was wondering if you think the MC462 is enough to push a pair of revel salon 2’s? Or would the studio 2’s be a better bet?

But, they are beautiful to look at. To answer the question. The 462 will drive anything, but, the sound of MC autoformer amps are very subjective and personal. YMMV...Enjoy ! MrD.

This is my estimate . Buy a $700 DBX Venue 360 and see for yourself what you have been listening to. You may be surprised.

I demoed my Totem Mani ii’s which is an inefficient speaker with a wide range of mcintosh amps and the best sounding came out of the 1k Mac monoblocks. I could has easily lived with the smaller amps, but the 1k’s were spectacular with this speaker.
