I have Revel Salon speakers. They have a rated sensitivity of 86 db, with nominal impedance of 6 ohms and minimum impedance of 3 ohms. They use a 4-way design, with three 8" bass woofers, one 6.5" midbass driver, a 4" midrange driver, and both front and backfiring 1" tweeters. I am currently driving them with Jeff Rowland Design Group Model 12 monos (200 wpc). The preamp is a Meridian 861 processor, with XLR outputs.
I would like to try a tube amp, and am interested in the new version of the MC 275 (my dad had one, and he would get a real kick seeing it in my system). Does anyone have an opinion as to how well a stereo MC 275 or two 275s run in mono mode would drive the Salons, for both music and theater applications?
If you don't think the 275 will work, and have any experience comparing Jeff Rowland amps with big Mac SS amps (especially the 501 monos), I would be curious to hear about that as well.
