Amp for my Salons

The only time I have heard the Salon's was at a dealership. They were teamed with Levinson gear. The Salon's had the most 'liquid' midrange I had ever heard. They sounded amazing. So good that I almost bought them. I would have bought them, but when I called back they had just been sold, and they didn't want to get another pair since these had sat on the floor for a while. I thought they were great speakers!

I don't know much about Levinson electronics but they sounded great at Flanner Audio when I heard them.

I am using the Studios with the Classe Omicrons currently and the match is excellent.

Raquel,

Thanks for you help. You are very very helpful. I gone back and did some research and the Pass Labs amp keep coming up as a good match. I would love to get a good tube amp, but I heard that the tubes can get pricey.

I was at a Revel dealer and they had a pair of 436 hooked up to the Salons. I must say I wasn't too impress by it. They sounded good, but they weren't great. Maybe it was the room or their setup. I know ML make some really great stuff, so I wasn't sure what was wrong. Maybe they just weren't for me.

Anyways I will look into the VAC and CAT as per your suggestion. The only problem is I don't think I have any local dealers that carry those brands. Thanks for the help. Anyone else have other suggestions?

I wonder if the salon/436 system wasn't set up right. When I heard that system it was awesome. I would stick with Levinson all the way with Revel. One of the best "synergy" systems I've heard in a long while...

"... certainly tend to get what you pay for in hi-fi.", is that a fact or your opinion?
