The best way to have your cake and eat it too is to bi-amp. Solid state on the bass, tubes on mids and highs, I have heard this with several different Revels and it sounds fantastic. Arc ref 150 would work very well as a mid/high amp on the Salons. any older Classe or bryston amp or amps would work well for the bass, get yourself a DS speaker digital EQ/pre amp to put between your bass amp and pre-amp and you can get digital eq from 500 hertz on down, and solid state control. Bi amping this way will take your Revels to a new level, far more open and dynamic, more like real music.
Tube Amps for Revel Salons
I'm thinking of going back to tube amps. I would either have to sell my first generation Revel Salons or find a suitablr tube amp that works well with them. I love these speakers, but they do require a certain amount of power to bring out the best in them. Anyone driving these with tubes? What do you recommend? What is the minimum power you would use? Or should I just sell them and get speakers that are more tube friendly? Thanks.
