Amp for Revel Ultima Salon 2


Hi, im searching amp for Ultima Salon 2.
They love high watts

Im considering
MC601
FPB450MCX
Mark Levinson 532

I have read a "new sound" MC in their last models (452,601)
Any comparison with this brands ?

Here is an earlier thread on amps for Revel Salon 2s:

They do like watts, up to a point: I wouldn't personally want to drive them with less than 200 watts in a room of more than 2500 square feet. But they like high current and speed even more. They will sound much better with a 250 watt fast amp that can accurately reproduce microdynamics than they will with a 500 watt slowpoke that can only play loud. So you need to look at more than just the wattage number.

I think Jeff Rowland Design Group still uses the Ultima in their listening room.
I would add to that list PASS XA200.5 or X600.5, Bryston 28SST2, ARC DS450M.

The choice depends on the rest of the system, budget, size of the room,...
