Best amp for Salon 2

Thanks. Also are monoblock always better than stereo all else being equal? The reason I ask is that Anthem has 400 watts / Channel at 8 ohms. It’s hard to find monoblock with similar power without making the budget 5-7 times.

I was going to pull the trigger on the 575XD mono blocks listed above. I recently owned 2 lower powered variants of that same new XD model so I know exactly what I would be buying. However, I thought it would take up too much space, so I bought CODA #16 instead. Which I also know well from owning the CODA #8.

I owned the Revel Salon 1 for a long time with Bryston 7B-SST. It was good and the bass was unreal. However, I know the KRELL XD or the CODA #8 or #16 would have been better. Especially so with the Salon 2 which has the BE tweeter.

The amps I listed are warmer than the Anthem you are considering or my old Bryston. The Anthem would not be my choice for a BE driver. Parasound A21+ is a good sonic match and cheaper but not as refined as the 2 I recommend.

zesto eros tube amplifiers would be amazing with them

also coda.8 a suberb 400 wat stereo amplifier with the provision to have the amp rebiased for more class A power in the future

Thank you all. These are some solid recommendations in this thread. I will wait for another day and then pull the trigger based on the recommendations. 

First congrats on a fantastic speaker. They are too great to be built today. But there are two issues. 1. They need power. I use a Storm 8-channel in bridged mode which can give them each about 800 W at eight ohm. More is better. There is no limit. 2. They need to be eq’ed to give a flat response in a normal room. Mostly the bass. I use Dirac and Roon eq. If not you will never understand how good they are…
