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.

I drive mine with amp rolling of michi m8,mcintosh 1.25,bryston 28b3.have not put krell 700mcx or 650 mcx on yet.i did get a satori beryllium tweeter put in both on the front.direct fit but had to drill small hole in opening of tweeter inset of salon to get neg lead to fit. I can always take them out if I sell them.the reviews are fantastic on these salon 1 and they talk about jbl test sound room steve at high performance stero is recapping krell on east coast and George mayer on west coast.between 2 to 3k. You could try d sonic class d direct from factory offers 30 day trial.purify prosper amp module 1.5k 2k into 4 ohms.just a thought . Enjoy the search.and the music |
500WPC Bryston 7bST's/ whatever their newest equivelent will rock the Revels. I came across a second hand 14b (single chassis 500wpc) to power my Nautilus 802's, That amp ended my madness of non stop gear changes. As a side note, I have a pair of Revel Ultima Gems that I use in one of my desktop systems- Revel made some special stuff for sure. |
Definitely give Odyssey a consideration ... I believe the best bargain in audio!! Kismet Mono's will impress ... https://odysseyaudio.com/kismet-reference-amplifiers/
