| best amp for Revel Studio speakers The Revels really like to see some power and current. The Proceed HP amps are known to work exceedingly well with those speakers.-RW- | |
| The best "imaging" speakers? The best imaging speakers I ever heard were KEF 105.2s - spooky good. But the sweet spot was about 1 foot wide, move your head and the soundstage shifetd or collapsed.-RW- | |
| Classe and Emotiva ? Give the Emotiva amps a try, the company does offer a 30 day in-home trial. I've heard that they also make the amps for Sunfire...-RW- | |

| which amp to go with? What question are you asking - you did not phrase it very well? Also, knowing a little bit about your speakers, room, sources, etc. would be most helpful...-RW- | |
| Latest Pre Pro with all the new codecs Emotiva UMC-1, to be released "any day now"...At $699 it is going to seriously embarrass some very well-respected names (think Krell, Cary, Bryston, etc.) It gets my vote for Product of the Year, 2009...-RW- | |
| 2 channel amp to upgrade Pioneer Elite Receiver How about a hybrid? You'll get the solid state low end with the sweetness that only tubes can provide. Take a good look at the Butler TDB-2250s you see here on Agon, that is an extremely good amp for reasonable money...-RW- | |
