Amp recommendations for Revel Salon2

Irvrobinson,
You should really listen to an Autoformer coupled McIntosh before you adopt the belief that Autoformers are a waste of weight and money.

I run a pair of ML 334s, in vertical bi-amp configuration.

I have heard more than one solid state McIntosh amp, and they both sounded fine. I'm not a good one for hearing differences between high-end amps, perhaps because I don't believe there is much in the way of audible differences. My bias against the autoformers is only that I believe investing in robust power supply and output stages results in a better amp for many modern multi-driver, passive crossover speakers with low impedance dips than investing in a big hulking matching transformer. If you like McIntoshs, cool.

I used McIntosh MC501 monoblocks with very good result and would enthusiastically recommend the pairing. . YMMV.

I am using Lamm M2.2 monoblocks with excellent results. these speakers are extremely revealing and very neutral. You are basically hearing the amps more than the speakers. So choosing proper amps is very critical.

I still think the Parsound JC1's are a great amp if not the new kid on block anymore.If you want power and build quality Bryston would be for me before Classe.I used to sell Mac and think it would be fine combo maybe not as much detail as others but really musical.You just pay a bit more (not as much as Ayre or Krell the latter of which I sold as well).The Revel though neutral is pretty forgiving to begin with (though not like say B&W) so you have some choices.I am value nut even at higher prices.JC1's.Good sounds gobs of current.They make a damn good high end pre so what follows should matter too.
