Recommendation Tube amp to drive Revel Studio

Why not consult Revel? Can you bi-amp those speakers? Why not put a strong, say Parasound SS amp on the "bass posts" and a more musical/accurate/refined amp on top!?! YOu'll have better dynamic ability, and you'll have the refinement with the midrange on up!
The Parasound amps used as bass amps are superb for that. they also are bi-amp friendly with level controls for each channel!
Good luck

Look at Llano Design Trinity or Phoenix tube/ss hybrid amps. They can drive anything, and soundly beat Bryston, Aragon, CJ,, Krell and others in an extensive listening test I did in the same setup.

Hi, I was able to borrow david berning amp to test out with the revel studio, very nice amp for the size nice mid, high but does not have enough juice for the revel bottom end. Anyone heard the vac monoblock 220, or cary 805?

Yes.

Because it ain't needed. I've used the Studios with a dozen or more amps and never found that biamping was an advantage over a single adequate amp per channel. The SF Power3 works and so does the non-tube Classe CAM350 and monoblocked eVo2.

BTW, iirc, Revel doesn't recommend biamping either.
