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.

Van alstine passed away recently what a loss.his 750 monoblock is a bargain and now 15% off.last time they had that sale i bought 2 sets.read the review on thier site.they pulled so much they shut down my ps audio regenerator 20.had to hook it up to furman 20i that has huge 60 amp caps for transients also audioquest 7000 has same magic box let's amps pull transients designed by same engineered as furman but newer technology. Van i think has 30 day trial.so much to choose from.happy hunting.went to harbor freight bought a 10 awg extension cord to hook monoblocks up to furman.my hegel h30 a set ps 20 into limp mode as well but otherwise thier fantastic. I buy almost all my stuff open box or used.van and some emotiva is the only thing I bought new on sale.enjoy the hunt

A pair of Modwright KWA 99's just popped up today at The Music Room (tmraudio.com) for $7749.

After owning many different amps, I have found the Michi 8 mono blocks to be the best in performance and cost ($15,000 for the pair). And they just added a software/firmware upgrade with some really cool looking VU meters.

Below is a review by Michael Fremer in Stereophile in which he compared the Michi 8 to his very expensive darTZeel NHB-468’s amps. ($170,000/pair)

Can you describe the differences between these 3 amps on your Salon1.
