Absolutely agree with the above poster about hearing loss. Good advice.
As far as the Revels go, why are you buying a Mark Levinson amp? You should absolutely not need to spend that much money to make a $3,500 pair of speakers function properly. I would see if your dealer would let you borrow the 85f demo pair to compare. They are outstanding speakers and will play very loud with not much power in comparison to the Revels, and more importantly sound better at low volumes.
Now what I’d really recommend in that price range is the Focal Aria 936’s, but that’s a whole ‘nother story.
