Revel Salon and Plinius SA102


Any opinions on this combo?
The plinius is 125W into 8ohms (Salons are 6 ohms nominal) but high current.

If your room is not huge and you do not listen to a lot of demanding orchestral music, you should be okay (I believe the Plinius is Class A biased and has pretty stiff power supplies). That said, the Salon is only 87 db. efficient and drops near 3 Ohms in the bass -- it sounds better with beefy amps.

I have run my Salons with 130 watt/channel tube monoblocks in a large room very successfully, but my amps (VAC Renaissance 140/140's) have particularly good output transformers and power supplies, the voltage into our apartment is usually 120-122 volts, and I have each monoblock on a dedicated 25 amp line.
