Amp for my Salons


I recently got a pair of Revel Salons and I love these speakers. The problem is that I am not doing it justice with the current amp I am using. I spent most of my money on the speakers so I need an afordable amp that will work well with the Salons. I was thinking of getting a pair of Bryston 7BST since they are cheap used and they have plenty of power to drive them. Have anyone use this combo yet and how does it sound? What other choices do I have on a budget? I really would like to get a pair of monoblocks instead of a stereo amp. Thanks for the help.

Preamp: ARC LS2
CDP/SACD: Sony NS999ES

The only time I have heard the Salon's was at a dealership. They were teamed with Levinson gear. The Salon's had the most 'liquid' midrange I had ever heard. They sounded amazing. So good that I almost bought them. I would have bought them, but when I called back they had just been sold, and they didn't want to get another pair since these had sat on the floor for a while. I thought they were great speakers!

I don't know much about Levinson electronics but they sounded great at Flanner Audio when I heard them.
Pbb, he is, of course correct. It amazes me that people still have foolish opinions like yours. Maybe it's just a hearing problem! BTW do you have anything to add to the conversation , or are you just sniping?
