What Power Amplifier Should I Buy?
Still think, despite your devotion to them, the Revel's are your issue. Please don't shoot the messenger. Why not try something else? Vandersteen, Tannoy or Focal to name a few.    
Spatial Audio Raven Preamp
@fthompson251 No over basseness. (If that’s a word) Uncoloured. Feel no need to tube roll but naturally will someday.

This is a fantastic Pre. The Raven Preamplifier by Don Sachs and Lynn Olson. Lots more here on Agon. Yes I have one and it's rumored I'm a fan. But Speakers are requirement one.

Another vote for a pair of subs. Likely the Revel f208's may not 'get 'er done." ( You removed the Usher speakers. ) Perhaps investing in better $peakers is the key. The single sub may be vibrating your gear especially the turntable.  Room is w... 
It was the output tubes all along...

I quite enjoy being an audiophile for enjoyment of listing to great sounding music.   
An integrated bargain?

Next step up on the streaming food chain?
A whole house surge protector is inexpensive compared to audio gear. It’s a bacon saver.  +2 on Grimm MU1 or MU2. Not a fairy tale.

@phono2024 Upon retiring and finally being able to put together a room/system (and after many years of research and trials) I knew I wanted 300B Mono blocks. The Blackbirds and Ravin are world class. If your speakers are efficient enough, then the...

@phono2024 No hiss. No hiss with past other units. (Macintosh 275, PrimaLuna, and Rogers High Fidelity) Way back a Fisher 400 did hiss, growl and bite.  
Are REL the most Musical Subs?
The key is to get a pair!   
DC Offset Issue in Don Sachs Preamp
Yes. Amps on/off first per Don. (For the Raven/Blackbirds) My one word review of the Raven/Blackbirds would be. Get.
