Once the A21 warms up for a couple hours it just sings. I prefer it to the $6K Coda No.8.
I never heard the A21, but I was very impressed with the A21+. For the cost it was an excellent amp. I sold that to get the CODA #8 and thought it was more detailed and as powerful as the A21+. I now have the CODA #16 which is better than the #8. The Benchmark LA4 with the Parsound is a great combo. The Holo Serene preamp is another similar option.
Using a stereo amp as monos is not a good idea. Better to get dedicated monos. I would get the stereo 4B3 over 2 2.5’s. A lot of technical explanations on Audiogon about why this is the case.
I am selling my Sanders Magtech amp (500 W) which I think is as good and maybe preferred over the 4B3. Definitely great on Maggies but I am not sure about the Revel and Sanders synergy. My Sanders was not as good as I expected on my Yamaha NS5000 but on my Magnepan LRS+ it was amazing.
The 4B3 should be good on Revel. I used to have the 4B-SST and then the 7B-SST on Revel Salon 1. It was not perfect but not too bad. The extra power of the 7B-SST was noticeable on the Salon 1. Such killer bass on that speaker.
