| Revel Salon 2 Amplification Questions I've heard the Salon 2s with the ARC DSi200 integrated amp (with ARC CD8 front end). The combo sounded very good but I think 200 wpc is the least amount of power it takes to drive them. Here's a favorable review of the ARC Ref250s: http://www.thea... | |
| Revel Salon 2 Amplification Questions "the key component that really brings the music to life is the BAT Rex preamp that I am using. The solid state amp with the tube pre is really a most musical combination. the sound is never tiring, and low level listening is just as pleasurable."A... | |
| Revel Salon 2 Amplification Questions Thanks for the additional replies.I like Rowland gear but I think it would be more a lateral move from the Plinius stuff than a major upgrade.I really like the Ayre C-5xeMP player but will eventually add a DAC to handle computer audio, so good to ... | |
| Revel Salon 2 Amplification Questions Thanks everyone for the replies so far. I did hear the Salon 2s with an ML 532H while auditioning gear last fall. I thought it very good on acoustic music and liked the midrange especially, but prefer the Plinius SB-301's bass weight and control, ... | |
| Revel Salon 2 Amplification Questions Thanks for the comments so far. I have heard of the Carver AT180s and will investigate the 305 watt version. I did hear the ML 532H driving Salon 2s when auditioning gear. I thought it very good with piano and acoustic music and that it had a clea... | |
| Suggestions for amping a pair of Revel Studio2s Enjoy! The Sophias are a bit more efficient than the Studio 2s so probably a better fit for you. Haven't heard the Sophias but really liked the Sashas when I was auditioning speakers, and might have gone for them instead of the Salon 2s but for my... | |
| Thoughts on Legacy Whisper Speakers Bored much? This thread is over 9 years old. | |
| Revel Salon2/Studio2/Voice2 amplification??? Focusing solely on your 2-channel needs vis-a-vis your Salon 2s, for these speakers in a room that size you need big solid-state power. My 310 wpc into 8 ohms Plinius SB-301 fills my 5600 s.f. room nicely but I would suggest that amount of power a... | |
| Suggestions for amping a pair of Revel Studio2s "My room is 13 feet wide-is that wide enough for a studio 2 or 1? 30 ft length, open to hallway and 8 foot ceiling. also considering sophia 2 or watt pupp 7"Plenty wide for all three speakers you mention, as well as Revel Salon 1s or 2s."If you wa... | |

| Rogue M-180 vs BAT vk150se Sorry about the double post! | |
| Rogue M-180 vs BAT vk150se As Chrissain suggests, Salon 2s are power hogs. I wouldn't use anything less than 300 wpc into 8 ohms to drive them in any room larger than say 2500 s.f. There are plenty of SS amps that can provide the sonic qualities you're looking for and may b... | |
| Rogue M-180 vs BAT vk150se What size is your room? Salon 2s are power hogs and neither of the amps you're asking about would drive mine effectively in my room of approx. 5,600 s.f., for example.As Chrissain says, these speakers need high current to shine and to control all ... | |
| Wilson Sasha vs. older Watt Puppies I found the Sashas to be an excellent speaker when I auditioned them, and might well have bought them but for my very lively room. | |
| McCormack DNA500 for Revel Salon 2? vs Lev/Mac? I personally wasn't crazy about the ML 532H with the Salon 2s when I heard them together, even though both are Harman products and you'd think there'd be some synergy. The combo was clean and clear but seemed way too polite on dynamic recordings. ... |
