what the best amps run revel salon2 stronger bass

Mark Levinson No. 53, arguably the best match for the Salon 2.

There is more to it than just your amps, what's feeding them up the line along with cables.

Never mind your room and set-up.

There are going to be a allot of different opinions, just read above and mine, some threads making you think that a specific amp outperforms another.

This one had me chuckling;

(the Bryston 28B SST square 1,000 watt monoblocks), but he said that the sonics were not nearly as good as with the Lamm amps.)

In the end it's your set-up and you are going to be the one listening to it, it's not easy you will have to get different amps home to try. The problem with this, is will you be lucky enough to pair it up with the matching components up the line and cables and is everything well broken-in. You might get stronger bass but then lack elswhere.

Good luck to you it's the joys of this ever ending hobby of ours.

F.Y.I. I replaced CAT Sig. JL3 MK2 mono's which list for $40K with Bryston 28 Squared driving my MBL 101e's, also had the MBL 9011 and 9008 mono which are crazy money, Pass X600.5's and prefer the Bryston's. I do like the Bryston's paired up with a tube pre, mine being the VAC Sig. MK2a. About 10 Years ago now I also owned Revel's.

P.S. Lamm product is great also, have fun.

I have tryed the 28bsst2 with my Salon 1's and did not like them at all . It's odd that you feel the bass is lacking , my Salon 1's are slightly to bass'y , I'm looking for an amp that's very neutral . I'm using Levinson's #431 now, they are not known to be overly bass heavy , some say the opposite . #436's are known for big bass power . I have heard the Levinson # 53's to the Salon 2's , you won't find a better match .

Tmsorosk, I agree when you said;

"my Salon 1's are slightly to bass'y"

I owned a pair years ago and also found them to be the same along with not really being able to listen for any period of time, I tried every amp combo I could get my hands on and in the end just moved on.

What settings do you have everything set at? do you have the tweeter firing backwards or off.

I would try a Plinius amplifire, the SA 103 transformed the bass on my friends Revels. It was awesome. Good luck, Chris
