If you still want to stay in Pass class A, you may want to try the XA60 models. They should do everything you need from the Studio 2s, which, in my experience are not nearly as hard to drive as the Salons are.
Own Studio 1's. My experience with them and for my personal tastes is they lap up heaps of Power and sound better with plenty of quality Power/Current. Out of my half dozen owned Power Amps and a couple of others tried with the Studios, my preference is for the big Vincent SP-998 Mono Blocks. A conservative 2 x 300 W. 8 ohms. 2 x 600 W. 4 ohms, 50W Class A. The big Vincents grip the Revels and control them effortlessly.
Hi Jeff, I'm in Australia. Besides the big Vincent Mono's. Vincent SP-T700, Vincent SP-994. Benchmark (Australia) Plexus upgraded, Benchmark A300 upgraded. Krell KSA-250, Rotel RB1090.
