Matti,
I also have a pair of Revel Salon 2. I have been driving mine with ARC's DS450. This amp does an adequate job in driving the Salons to quite loud levels without any strain and it is very musical.
Now, I spoke with Kevin Voecks (Salon designer) several years ago at RMAF about power and amplification do drive the Salons. His response was - "high power and good quality amplification". A high quality amp with over 300 watts should be able to drive them.
They should sound very nice with Levinson (532 and 532H) McIntosh (452 and 601s) BAT (solid state), Moon, Classe (600 watt monos), Bryston (28 SST2), Pass (600.5) to name a few. I'm very pleased with my amp but would consider the mono version - ARC DS450M, or Ref 250s but not for rock or extremely loud and demanding music.
Bottom line, high power and good quality. Also, look for synergy with the rest of your equipment. Lastly, trust your ears.
Hope that helps!
