Best Tube Monoblocks for Revel Ultima Salons?

You might want to try what I do and that is to use a solid state amp on your woofer section and a tube amp on your highs and mid. This way you'll get a powerful well controlled bottom end (depending on the amp), and a warm, dimensional "tube sound" on the midrange and tweeters. There is the question of impedence mismatch, but my ears hear only balance and harmony between my ML333 and ARC VT 100 3. And think of the cost re-tubing a 300 wpc (you'll need it) amp.
This is only a suggestion; and I'm sure someone here can steer you to a true tube monoblock configuration. ARC REF 300's? 600's?

I believe Kal Rubinson over at Stereophil uses Sonic Frontiers to power his bug Revel's. May be somethign to look into especially his reviews of other products using that ref system.

I use the SF Power3 amps with the Studios. I cannot comment on their use with the Salons but Larry Greenhill reviewed those speakers and you might consult his reviews for more info.

I tried SF3's based on Greenhill's review. Not good to these ears. Very slow, dynamics were gone. ML 336...pretty good but the mids and highs just did not have the "magic". Tried several others(Pass, Sim).Rzemkoski's idea of tubes & SS might be the ticket but I know dual modded Bernings worked! The magic is there. I bought the Bernings for my Merlins and was ready to sell the Salons on Agon until I set them up for test with the Bernings. Amazing sound. I would not have guessed the difference could be so large. Speed, dynamics, tone, bass, its all there.
