Amp Options/Questions for Revel Studio v1


Hello

Looking for ideas for amping Revel Studio version one speakers. I currently have Pass Aleph2 and Aleph P.

I would like to keep the Aleph2 to use for bottom end power.
Was thinking about VTL MB-125's for top end.
Is this a good match?

Or should I sell/trade in the Aleph2's and save for MB-185 or 450?

Looking for best match either SS or tube for studios.
My budget is right at 4k.
I thought of VTL because of their power to drive a speaker like Studio (MB185/450) but am open to other suggestions.

I will be keeping the Aleph pre amp no matter what. Really need some help here.

I must ask again-are there provisions for gain matching.I ask this because if the input sensitivity is different,then the levels between the two different amps won't match.
Aleph 0s?Jadis Defy 7 mk II+,Quicksilver Silver 90 or a little extra warmth CJ 11a/LP70.If 70W will do,the PL 7s,with a roll on the 12ax/au7s.
If I think of others,I will notate them-but first:the level matching.
My freind has the Salons V1, he drives them with Krell evo 600 monoblocks they sound great. Those Revel's need alot of power to open up. I would suggest at least 300w/c amp with alot of current.
Parasound JC1 mono's
Cary MB 500 mono's
McCormack Dna 500
Mark Levinson 336 or 436
Krell Evo

The Aleph pre-amp has two knobs that are labeled "Gain"
for left and right chanells. Which amps would I control top or bottom?

Thank you for your input. I have heard the Studios
and Salons driven by ML436. Very natural sound, but have not heard in my listening environment.
What about Macintosh MC352?
My freind had the ML 336, 436 and Classe omega tower mono's
before he got the Krell Evo 600's.(if you decide to get a Krell stick with the evo line, it's better than the older krell amp. not a big fan of older model Krell amp's)
In his system we like the Levinson's and Krell's over the Classe's. The Classe's are good amp's, but we here more details with the other Amplifiers. As for the Macintosh never heard the Mc352, but I heard the MC402 and MC501's driving the B&W n802d. The Mac has a different sound than Levinson and Krell, almost like the Classe a little soft.

The left/right gain balance isn't the issue.If the tweet/mid amp and the bass amp used don't have matching Input Sensitivity,then the speakers'tonal balance will change.One beong disproportionate to the other.
The IS is usually stated in the amplifiers' specs (in volts:.8v/1.0V/1.2V).
This number needs to be matched for the top-end amp,unless they have an output attenuator/volume potentiometer.Thus my question concerning other Pass family units.
