Bryston or Levinson for Revel F52

I am looking to upgrade my amp driving Revel F52 speakers. Currently using a Musical Fidelity A5cr. I am looking at moving to either a Bryston 14B SST2 or a Levinson 532H. I would appreciate any input as to which of these might be a better match with the F52s.

Don't call me but have you heard either of these two? Why are you considering them and what do you want the amp to do that MF doesn't?

I too would choose Bryston over Levinson overall, but I'm not sure for the Revels since they are voiced with Levinson?

not sure how useful this will be because i'm yet to hear the 14B SST2 but.....put Bryston (4BSST) in the mix a couple of years ago when i was looking for a new amp. tried Krell, Bel Canto, Levinson and a few others.

ended up with a Levinson 432....and it wasn't a difficult choice for me. the Bryston sounded way to forward with my Aerial's...more so then even Krell. couldn't come close to the luscious/rich sound of the Levinson (or as some would call it....the dark sounding Levinson =) )

tough call without listening for yourself.....good luck.
