Best Tube Monoblocks for Revel Ultima Salons?


Tubes and Vinyl are calling my name. I am looking for some monoblocks that will drive my Salons and deliver that sweet , warm tube sound that makes you fuzzy all over:} Any sugestions would be greatly appreciated.

You might want to try what I do and that is to use a solid state amp on your woofer section and a tube amp on your highs and mid. This way you'll get a powerful well controlled bottom end (depending on the amp), and a warm, dimensional "tube sound" on the midrange and tweeters. There is the question of impedence mismatch, but my ears hear only balance and harmony between my ML333 and ARC VT 100 3. And think of the cost re-tubing a 300 wpc (you'll need it) amp.
This is only a suggestion; and I'm sure someone here can steer you to a true tube monoblock configuration. ARC REF 300's? 600's?

I believe Kal Rubinson over at Stereophil uses Sonic Frontiers to power his bug Revel's. May be somethign to look into especially his reviews of other products using that ref system.

I use the SF Power3 amps with the Studios. I cannot comment on their use with the Salons but Larry Greenhill reviewed those speakers and you might consult his reviews for more info.
