Help finding me an amp for my Revel Ultima Salon 2s


I have been running a complete Krell EVO system for over 15 years and I loved it. That was my sound! Full, wide open stage, bass control like crazy and musicality that I have never experienced before. Maria Callas in your room!

But I recently sold it and now have a need for a new power amp. Currently have a Pass X-1 pre, Esoteric SACD, SME table with Soundsmith Strain Gauge cartridge. I tried an Esoteric A-02 but it just sounded very restrained in this set up. Closed in, no depth, no life. Now I know this is good amp so I am assuming this is a speaker mismatch.
BTW...I have also changed my cables to PAD Venustas as the system was fully CAST before so not sure how this is impacting the sound too.

I live in Hawaii so I really do not want a boutique amp. need one that will be reliable. Thinking Luxman, Pass....????

I want my EVO sound back!
I need help!

The guy that bought my salon 2's, his 2nd pair liked the Mc601 and now has a rack of 4. He did say that on peaks the clipping lights will start to flash but he loved the sound. I really liked the ML 536 combo.
I love my Revel's, the best yet for me.
Amplification:   Krell Duo 300, Bryston 4B-3, Mc452...

My favorite, the McIntosh 452...
Great, Thanks for the input! What is it about the Mc that does it for you over the Krell?
