It's funny you should mention Class D and Revel. There was just a review on Audioholics mentioning that. Here's the link if you're interested: http://www.audioholics.com/amplifier-reviews/red-dragon-m500mkii-m1000mkii-amplifier-review
First of all, any amp can have distortion. That happens when you push the amp past it's capabilities. Distortion will therefore happen to any amp, and not just Class D. The gist of the review is interesting and makes an interesting point that with the Class D amps there may be certain frequencies prone to distortion if the amp cannot drive them. Again, that's going to happen with any amp.
Now, your Revel M22s are the same ones I own. They are wonderful speakers and I loved them. They are not super-difficult to drive but they do sound really good with better amplification.
The Revel M22s are nowhere near as difficult to drive as the Ultima2 Salons, which are mentioned in the review. I've powered mine with Marantz and NAD and Lexicon gear for years without issue.
