what the best amps run revel salon2 stronger bass

Alchemie,

Have you compared the DNA-500 or Clayton amps to Pass XA.5? This new generation of Pass Class A amps have excellent bass control on the Eggleston and Magico speakers that I have heard them paired with in my system.

I agree with Summitav about checking the room first for bass issues. There may be some issues that are not speaker/amp related. Then again, if the room is fine, speaker/amp matching is very important.

Actually I own a Pass Labs XA 100.5 amp. It is quite good, but I also own a Clayton M200 amp and it is better in just about every category I can think of. The Clayton is the most true to the signal of any solid state amp I have evr heard. And it has 200 watts of glorious Class A goodness. The only other solid state amp I have heard that approaches it are the McCormack DNA-500's. The DNA-500's are a bit more liquid sounding, which isn't a bad thing, but not quite as accurate as the Clayton's. They are both significantly superior to any Krell's or Levinson's.

The above said, I would put the Clayton's and the DNA-500's firmly in Class A, with the Pass XA.5's in the upper Class B, the Levinson's in Class B, and the Krell's in lower Class B.

What amps have you tried?

I would recommend you give the Parasound JC1 mono's a try.

Maybe it's just time to try a new speaker??

If you really want more bass, it is probably either a speaker issue or a "desire" issue. The revel's are very very flat speakers. They are only giving you what is in the signal and the amps you have tested are all very good amps that are pretty flat. You may want to get an EQ and boost the low frequencies.

Another option, if you like the sound of the revel upper end is to try a pair of Infinity P363. Those speakers have a pyscho-acoustic boost in the low end that many people prefer, and have a similar sound to the revels above that.

I know it is heresy what I am saying on a high-end forum, but "good" preferred sound doesn't always come expensive to everyone. And it worst it is only a few hundred $'s which is probably less than you've lost on your amps.
