Revel Studio vs. JM Lab Micro BE

I have pair of Revel Studio driven by BAT VK 300x integrated.

My dealer suggested to switch new JM Lab's in order to get better result with BAT integrated. I do not have intention to change the amplifier or budget to change it.

I will highly appreciate your regarded opinion and experience on this

Regards,

It would all depend on the efficiency of the JM Labs.
You've got a great pair of speakers, I've owned them. As you improve your system, they will sound better and better. I'd take the money the dealer wants you to spend on JM Labs and buy some electronics. Going to a system high power amp like an Adcom and Adcom preamp would probably sound much better.

I haven't heard the Adcom amp recently, but I believe there have been several mentions of this combination maybe by Kal Rubinson in Stereophile. I based my recomendations on 1. a need for more power, 2. It seems money is an issue, 3. I owned the Adcom 750 preamp for a while it sounds great, 4.You could probably pick up the Adcom units or similar quality amps on Audiogon and greatly improve your system.
Perhaps your BAT has preamp outputs so you could add another amp (maybe even a BAT) and get your speakers to sound like they can.
