Amp power for Revel Studio2

Considering the low sensitivity (87.7) You will need 256 watts to reach peaks of 112db.@ 8 ohms. You also need a high current amp that doubles its current into 4 ohms. The low impedence can dip to 3.7 ohms.

If it were me I would be looking at an amplifier that was minimally rated at 225+ @ 8 ohm and 400 @ 4 ohm. The power supply has got to be a good one as well. Usual suspects include: Threshold, Coda, Pass Labs, Parasound, McCormack, Krell, Sim Audio, and Bryston.

This is a dynamic speaker with large cones and heavy magnets.(8 speakers). It takes a lot of power to keep them singing and not sounding slow and behind the beat.

You'll need around 250-300 watts to hear the full potential of these speakers. I had the Studio 1 and tried using a Proceed AMP 5 at 125W/ channel and it sounded ok. Then I drove them with Krell 450W monoblocks and the speakers came alive. The Studio 1 and 2 have similar sensitivity.

I was thinking Ayre V5xe since I have an Ayre pre and that is rated as 150/300.
