Krell or Mark Levinson with Revel Ultima2's???


OK,

I know the ML amps and Revel speakers make a solid match, but given the recent changes in ML, I have some issues with buying their amps right now. I would also like a SLIGHTLY more forward presentation than the ML/Revel combo does, though I could easily live with it and be quite happy.

I am considering either 5 ML 436's or Krell Evo 403/402 to power Revel Ultima2 Salons front Studio surrounds and Voice center. Pre/pro is a Meridian 861v4 and several sources exist including Esoteric DV-50s, Meridian G98DH, Toshiba HD XA2, Samsung BDP-1200.... you get the main idea. Cables are Transparent reference for the front so far and likely will be reference for the surrounds when all is said and done.

I can't find any one nearby who sells Krell, Levinson and Revel to compare them so am seeking anyone with experience of these combo's to chime in with your thought and opinions.

All help is appreciated!

I've also heard good thing about krell and sim audio matched with upper end dnyaudio and revels. Not to make anything more confusing but I can second what Sanibelteve mentioned about the levinson/dynaudio's together. Absolutely outstanding combo and is the reason why i started to love this hobby.
You know what I'd go with... if you buy them and don't like them I'll buy them from you! :)
Well, I ordered the five ML 436's last night.

Done, off the fence....... for now!
I just did the Evo 402e for my Studio 2's, replacing a No432. It's in a different league, sorry ML guys...money does buy perfection. DEEEEP bass, open and airy, and so quiet in the background, it's almost eery!!
