I believe Stereophile had a review and used a ML 125W, a Krell 600 watt and Bryston 28B-SST monos pushing 1.3K watts. They eluded to the Krell and Bryston as their favorites. Those titanium drivers are stiff.
Since Revel doesn't recommend a minimum wattage (thanks much guys), another review put it this way:
"Low Points
• The Revel Salon2 is not a terribly efficient loudspeaker compared to other high end dynamic speakers in its class thus you will need a truly powerful amp. Revel would suggest a Mark Levinson power amp but the bigger offerings from Krell and Classe' also will do the trick. Digital amps from Bel Canto and NuForce represent lower priced, sleeper amps capable of making sweet audio love to the Salon2s."
Best of luck Sir,

Bob,
Thanks for the feedback. I have used and love my Parasound Halo JC1's - have had them for years (2008??) and have powered every speaker I have had.
I'm just wondering if I should buy another pair and bi-amp?
Stereophile measured the JC1's power:
"...clipped at 545 into 8 ohms"
"with 1154 available into 4 ohms"
and
"no less than 4.2 KW into 1 ohm"
"Current output of 64.7A!"
