what the best amps run revel salon2 stronger bass

You can either check for a local dealer, or you can contact Perrotta Consulting, as they advertise here on Audiogon. I believe my friend with the Revel Salon 2 speakers, bought his Lamm M2.2 from them as a demo pair and saved a fair amount of money.

You might want to see if they have another demo pair. (FYI, Lamm amps are incredibly well made and will last you a lifetime, based on what I have read, heard and seen. I have owned mine for five years, and I am the second owner, and they have given me no trouble. Neither of my friends who own Lamm amps have any had any trouble either, so I would have no qualms about buying a demo pair myself.)

Good Luck!

PS FYI, they use one 6922 tube in each amp. This makes tube rolling both easy and relatively cheap. I recommend swapping out the stock Sovtek and replacing it with some sort of NOS tube. An Amperex Orange Globe 6DJ8, (the same thing as a 6922), is relatively cheap ($80 /pair) and sounds great. (In fact they are very close, sonically speaking, to the Amperex Pinched Waist 6922 tubes that my friend and I both use, and they are much cheaper. If you want the best, you can go for the Pinched Waist versions, but they tend to run several hundred dollars a pair.)

This is one of my friends set up he his very happy heard great comments on his system.

Mark Levinson No. 53, arguably the best match for the Salon 2.

There is more to it than just your amps, what's feeding them up the line along with cables.

Never mind your room and set-up.

There are going to be a allot of different opinions, just read above and mine, some threads making you think that a specific amp outperforms another.

This one had me chuckling;

(the Bryston 28B SST square 1,000 watt monoblocks), but he said that the sonics were not nearly as good as with the Lamm amps.)

In the end it's your set-up and you are going to be the one listening to it, it's not easy you will have to get different amps home to try. The problem with this, is will you be lucky enough to pair it up with the matching components up the line and cables and is everything well broken-in. You might get stronger bass but then lack elswhere.

Good luck to you it's the joys of this ever ending hobby of ours.

F.Y.I. I replaced CAT Sig. JL3 MK2 mono's which list for $40K with Bryston 28 Squared driving my MBL 101e's, also had the MBL 9011 and 9008 mono which are crazy money, Pass X600.5's and prefer the Bryston's. I do like the Bryston's paired up with a tube pre, mine being the VAC Sig. MK2a. About 10 Years ago now I also owned Revel's.

P.S. Lamm product is great also, have fun.

I have tryed the 28bsst2 with my Salon 1's and did not like them at all . It's odd that you feel the bass is lacking , my Salon 1's are slightly to bass'y , I'm looking for an amp that's very neutral . I'm using Levinson's #431 now, they are not known to be overly bass heavy , some say the opposite . #436's are known for big bass power . I have heard the Levinson # 53's to the Salon 2's , you won't find a better match .
