JC-1 is the way to go. $3,700 used is a bargain. I would pair the JC-1 with good tube preamp. The JC-1s didn't have trouble driving the Thiel 7.2. Revel Studio and JC-1s would be a good combo.
Levinson 335 or Parasound JC 1's
I have recently purchased a pair of Revel Studio v.1's!! I have always wanted to own a pair of these!! Now I am looking for the right amp to match with them. I know they need alot of power so I feel the amps that I have chosen will do the job. I have never heard either amp before but have done extensive research and read several reviews on both. (I belive in the stereophile review of the levinson 335 the studios were used) I would be greatful if anyone who has heard the Studios on either one of these amps could give me any advice. I would also be open to considering another amp under 4k used if they have amazing synergy. I will eventually be purchasing a Audio Research Ref 3 as my preamp and the Audio Research cd5.
My main listening is usually at low to moderate levels. The music I listen to is R&B, Jazz, pop and a little bit of rock and roll thrown in every now and then.
Let me thank you in advance for any advice.
