Mono blocks for Revel Salon 1’s recommendation?


I have been looking to upgrade my Krell KMA 160 mono blocks.  I have a Krell KRC -HR and an Oppo Modwright player.  I want to stay with mono blocks and thought I would stay in the late 90’s to 2010 range with something class A…but with all the new smaller amps out there etc, just wondering if I am missing something.  Thought was I needed a high watt/high current mono to get the best out of the Revel’s but not sure looking at some of the newer stuff.  Budget is 10k.  Thanks in advance.  I listen to mostly blues and rock.

In the early 2000's , I owned and absolutely loved a pair of Revel Salon 1 speakers.  At that time, I drove the Salon 1's to phenomenal effect, and I mean "PHENOMENAL" effect, with a Classe CA401 stereo amplifier.  So naturally, I would highly recommend a pair of Classe Audio mono-block amplifiers.  I currently owns a pair of Revel Salon 2 speakers, which I will ride off into the sunset with.  Nowadays, my audio system is set-up in a not so large room, so I simplified and downsized my audio system.  Currently, I drive my Salon 2's with a Hegel H590 integrated amp, which is so incredible, I don't miss the big separates one bit.  Happy listening
