Revel Studios and?


I just bought a pair of Revel Studios and have no idea what componentry to buy that will complement these (87db). I took them to a local store and had a shootout with B + W 802's and lost badly. The amp was a CJ 2500a and preamp cj pv 14l with a sony 777es cd player. I like the tube sound, but must admit to being a novice at this game. I need a preamp , amp,cd player, turntable and interconnects. Any suggestions?

I have a pair of Revel Studios in a 13.5 X 16 room that has a 9 foot ceiling. I bought a Mark Levinson 335 amp (250 wpc @ 8 ohms) to power them. As it turns out, that much power was not necessary in my room.

In retrospect, the ML334 (along with my ML 380S preamp) would have been perfectly adequate for all but the most demanding circumstances. (The 334 and 335 essentually sound identical.)

Anyhow, I have owned this setup for a while now, and could not be more pleased. I believe the Levinson products are a perfect synergistic match for the Revels.........after all they are manufactured by the same corporation. To date, I have been thrilled with the combination. I hope this helps.

Good luck, and enjoy the music.
