Amps for revel salon 2

I'm a dealer so I need to first promote the idea that if you can find a dealer that knows system matching like the old days when people know what music sounds like I would rely on them because a good dealer is better than buying cheap on line any day.  But I know that is hard to find anymore.

The Revel's are more forward in the highs so stay away from Levinson It would be the high end equivalent to matching Yamaha with Klipsch.

Claase is closer but it is still Brand Name male jewelry. Plus Classe over protects their amps so you only get half the power out before it goes into protection.

I'm not a dealer of the following but the big VTL Votons. If you can find a used pair of NRG mono blocks, The big MBL's Older Symphonic Line. Pilinius.

What I do sell or have used.  The best amps ever made but out of business. Essence Jasper Mono Blocks.  I had a used pair of Classe Omicrons in 4 years ago and the Essence made the Classe sound like an Adcom 545.

What I also sell that you would like. Doshi Audio, they are tube but they power the big Wilson's with no problem, John Hillig of Musical Design heavily hot rods a pair of Hafler 500's and you wouldn't recognize them. Sweet, open, and powerful and quiet. 

Levinson known to have a good synergy with Revel. But I would recommend going with high current amps like plinius sb301 or pass labs 350.8 or pass labs 260.8 monos.

When I auditioned Salon 2s, Levinson sounded nice on them with small-scale and acoustic music, but lacked punch on orchestral music and rock.  

When I got my own pair,  I first used the Plinius SB301 with them, and it was a really nice match.   The Symphonic Line Kraft 250s I have now took them to a whole different level - as they should, for the price.  But the Plinius amp was damned good...
