amp to pair with new Revel F36 speakers

These speakers have a easy load everywhere, "except for" right in the power region for almost a full octave from 100hz to 200hz where they are about 3.7ohms
You need an amp that is very comfortable driving a sustained 3-4ohm load if you want the best from these speakers in that bass region.

I’d be replacing a Denon AVRX-2100W receiver....... which at higher volume levels just sounds "muddy" to me.

That’s why, the Denon ****’s itself into the bass.

Thanks for the link to that review!  I feel a bit overwhelmed with so many options out there.  Like I was saying, there isn't a close hifi shop to me, so for any personal auditioning I'd have to drive for hours.  Would anyone have an idea of a great preamp or integrated amp that has an "arc" built in?  I appreciate any feedback y'all.

Home Theater Integration, $0. Okay, all you "home theater bypass" guys. All of our preamps offer true home theater bypass. Just plug in your processor’s front channels to any input, select Passive mode, and turn the volume all the way up. Presto! 1:1 home theater bypass, with only a relay in the signal path.

For not too expensive integrated, look at "Parasound Halo Hint 6", they come with an inbuilt ESS Sabre Dac and a phono stage as well. And "used" the older model "Parasound Halo Hint" maybe on ebay.

Then there's the Pass Labs Intergrateds INT-60 and INT-250but they maybe too expensive, and the INT-60 may not have enough watts for you.

While I haven't heard your speakers themselves, over the years I have heard a number of Revel speakers paired to great effect with Mark Levinson gear -- think there was at least a time when they had some corporate affiliation, though not sure that's still the case.  Anyway, the ML 5802 has gotten some pretty solid reviews.  It's $7k used, which is obviously above your $5k budget, but some aggressive shopping for a demo or lightly used unit might get you something around the $5k price point.  I don't have that unit, so I'm not engaging in "buy what I have" advice.  Just a thought that might be worth checking out.  Either way, happy listening.
