Class D amps and Revel Salons


Howdy,

I have Salons in my home theater and the amps sit in a custom cabinet--I am using B&K (reference 2220 and 3220) and it sounds pretty good, but the amps get pretty warm, and i am sure i can do better

does anybody have expereince with class D amps and Revel speakers?

thanks

thanks for the info--made a mistake in original post, the HT has Studios, and the separate 2 channel system has the Salons (thethered to Krell Evo
600s, which I keep turned off when not in use...not for political reasons but they heat up the room quickly when running at full capacity)

I think I will stick with the B&Ks for now and look for some Levinsons eventually for the HT. I had 436 momos on the Salons for a whileand liked that sound...

BUMP, just upgraded my f52's with a beautiful pair of salon1 speakers. I was actually shopping to upgrade my anthem 225I because the f52 sounded too dry, great bass, imaging, and treble but mids were lean and harsh, oddly enough when these big revels fell into my lap I connected them to this very same anthem 225i and they make a musical pair don't get me wrong I expect a quality pre with 500 quality wpc would make me appreciate these even more I was just surprised that the salons were more forgiving than the performa 2's.
just an edit for anyone considering the Revel F52's or the Anthem 225I I wouldn't want anyone to get a negative idea from my post for either piece of gear as i've gotten great sound from both pieces connected to other equipment and even paired to each other up to moderate listening levels they make all but the crummiest recordings fun to listen to. my experience in the past was the more a speaker cost the more fickle it was to get the best sound out of, out of the box the salon sounded pretty musical plugged into an affordable system and that surprised me. my f-52's seem to need more power /current than the integrated has to stay sweet at loud levels.
