question from france : i have revel salon since 3 years and a big ST Amp Bryston 14SST, i don't know if it's my system or my listening room, all is rigth but the sound miss depth and the 3D is little.

perhaps i should try a big tube amp ? and which ?

i'm not familiar with the revel's, but your price range will definitely dictate the responses.

If you are going to attempt to run the Revel Salons with a tube amp, it has to be an amp that can deliver a LOT of current to the speakers. I run the Salons with the CAT JL-1 LEs, and the combination is great. The CAT amps are some of the few tube amps with the guts to drive this speaker properly.

Kal,
you're rigth, but, now, i have a Tact2.2RCS for room correction, and i can't do upgrade anything in my listening room.

Cincy_bob : thanks for your answer, now i have a short list : cat JL-1, VTL MB 450 or of higher and perhaps rogue audio zeus.
regards

The TacT (or any room EQ) is a band-aid, not a cure, for poor room acoustics.
