Tube Amps for Revel Salons


I'm thinking of going back to tube amps. I would either have to sell my first generation Revel Salons or find a suitablr tube amp that works well with them. I love these speakers, but they do require a certain amount of power to bring out the best in them. Anyone driving these with tubes? What do you recommend? What is the minimum power you would use? Or should I just sell them and get speakers that are more tube friendly? Thanks.

Well they do have bi-amp possibilities. I actuall inquired with Harman about an active crossover but didn't get much help. The manual mentions that identical signals need to be sent to both upper and lower speaker jacks but may mean identical gain.
Otherwise it seems like a great speaker to bi-amp with an active crossover. High powered solid state is relatively cheap for the bottom and would put your tubes to good use on the top.
Would be very interested as to what you decide. BTW, I'm very interested in a pair of Salon 2s but like you have questions about the amps.
