Best amp for Salon 2


I am new here and working on my first setup. I was able to find an excellent deal on Salon 2 as the shop was getting rid of floor displays. Unfortunately they only carry Anthem STR and Mark Levinson in pre-amp and amp. I just heard Anthem and they sounded good. Mark Levinson is significantly expensive. Looking at the specs I could not make out much difference. This set up is going to last for years for me. Are there any better amps out there for Salon 2 ? I would prefer to stay below $25K.

Had a Parasound JC5 with my Salon 2’s. Sound was great at low volumes but fell apart above 20-30db. Bought a Coda #16 and WOW I’m in HIFI heaven. Not sure why everyone says you need 500 watts. The Coda is only 150 watts (first 100 class A) and in my room (17 X 35 x 12) there is more than enough power to play at levels that exceed my listening pleasure with great authority.

The rep at revel recommended 500 watts in an email reply when I inquired to how much power they recommended for the salon 2. That's why i parrot it. 

The rep is echoing the designer's recommendation to optimally power the Salon 2.
