Revel Salons and Adcom amp, good match?

I just puchased a set of Revel Ultima Salon 1's, and currently have an Adcom 555 200w amp. I am planning on purchasing a dual mono amp soon, but I need to know if this Adcom will be ok to use in the meantime. Not really concerned about the sound quality, just more or less that nothing will get damaged. Thanks for any information.

Nothing will get damaged, and you at least have a decent amount of power, so the sound should be decent, albeit not spectacular.

(Since you have not picked your monoblocks yet, you might consider getting 300-400 wpc monoblocks, as the Salons like a lot of power.)

Good Luck!

Just for general info: that amp is hardly the amp you should be using. Sure,it will make music,and if your funds are depleted---ok. However, great speakers such as these will sing a whole lot better with a quality amp or mono block amps.
You should be looking at amps in the same price range as the speakers.

The Revels love power.
Keep in mind that they will sound noticably better after about 200 hours of use-turn them to medium volume and go away for the weekend?

If I was you, I would definately be concerned about the sound quality. Those are very revealing speakers, and they will reveal the nature of that amp. They are worthy of better, but listening will tell the tale.
