While I haven't heard your speakers themselves, over the years I have heard a number of Revel speakers paired to great effect with Mark Levinson gear -- think there was at least a time when they had some corporate affiliation, though not sure that's still the case. Anyway, the ML 5802 has gotten some pretty solid reviews. It's $7k used, which is obviously above your $5k budget, but some aggressive shopping for a demo or lightly used unit might get you something around the $5k price point. I don't have that unit, so I'm not engaging in "buy what I have" advice. Just a thought that might be worth checking out. Either way, happy listening.
Advice on amp to pair with new Revel speakers
I'd like some input on purchasing a new preamp/amp or integrated amp to pair with my new pair of Revel Concerta2 F36
floorstanding speakers. I'm moving away from home theater setup into a 2.0 or 2.1 stereo setup and would have a budget of around 5k. I'm interested in streaming and something would need to be able to connect my PS4 and TV as well. I generally listen to music fairly loud, so something with good power output. I'd be replacing a Denon AVRX-2100W receiver....... which at higher volume levels just sounds "muddy" to me.
