at 88db the 70se or 80se should be fine driving the Revels depending on your room size and listening levels. I would go up to the 80se if I were you. In terms of the Black Box vs. SBB either will give you more dynamics and low end control. I have found that I don’t go past 10/11 o’clock with the volume. My room is 16x18 and my speakers are 92db. Andreas from Octave is very responsive and he may help in setting up an audition but Aaron from safeandsound was a pleasure to work with.
