Best Amp for Revel F30

I think the Lev idea is a good one, but I have heard Revel sound great with Mac gear, The Mac sound to me is abit more organic and the all lev system I heard was a bit more clinical with some added detail. Pass Labs woudl also be a good idea if you're into their sound...

I am a tube guy, so I power my F30's with a pair of VTL 185 monoblocks. At 225 watts per channel they provide more than enough power. I think the F30's sound much better with tubes than with solid state designs. However, to really enjoy the F30's at lifelike volume levels, you'll need a tube amp with sufficient headroom to handle dynamic peaks etc.. Low powered tube amps are not likely to get the job done. IMHO a high-powered tube design with the F30's is a great match.

I have the f 30 with an AYRE v3 ,k3 and Electrocompaniet emc mk2. I heard them with the 331 it was ok , I am going to demo the plinius soon I here its a good match

The Revel sound is fairly DEAN-NUTS neutral sounding, and should do well with a lot of options. I think any amp you choose will simply be revealed(no pun) for what it is through the revels largely...that is if you can get away from YOUR OWN ADDED COLORATIONS due to your set up ability! If you make me sound bass heavy, they'll sound warmer overall. If you make em sound lean(via placement), they'll sound a tad hollower and more tipped up on the treble for perceived balance!
I once heard a guy's at his house who had em WAY WAY too close to the corners, and the bass was thick and boomy. The result was a bloated and way warm domination of the midrange.This was different than from what I've heard at shows and demo rooms.
That sais, the speakers are very neutral sounding like competing NHT's, and siimilar in the same price range.
If you like tube warmth, you can add one of those. If you dig solid state, the differences from amp to amp will play through I think.
If you find an excellent high end amp out there from review and suggestions, you'll probably like the sound. After all, the speakers are at least half of the sound of the gear all together. You shouldn't have problems trying different combo's for your ear and taste!
Have fun.
I think the older Threshold T series or SA series should sound awsome for the money with those! Good luck

I have mine connected to a B&K ST-140 and I think it sounds great at mid-low volumes. Everything I've done to my system has made a difference, though. The amp you have I would think is perfect if it's anything like its predecessors. Otherwise, the ST-202 would be my first choice.

I think 'foreververhifi' pretty much nailed it, though. Whatever you hook up to these speakers is what you're going to hear. Also, I think you must decide what isn't your system doing now that you want it to do?

Good luck and happy listening!
