Amps/Preamps for Revel Studios


I just purchased a pair of Revel Studios. I would like some suggestions of new/used amps and preamps that will be a good match. I'm interested in amps first, and would like to spend under $5000 for one. I'm considering the Bryston 7b monoblocks, Proceed HP2 and laterally biamp, or used Levinson, but any other suggestions would be helpful. Thanks for your views and experiences.

I have a pair of Revel Studios and used to have a Levinson 331. Then I tried a Pass Labs Aleph 4. I went back and forth over a 2 month period because I did not want to part with the 331, but everytime I hooked up the Pass amp, I knew the levinson had to go. no comparison ... the Pass is much more natural, open, and detailed.

I'm glad Lev335 loves his levinson amp, but I'll bet he's never heard the Pass amps in his system. He would be shocked.
