I was wondering if anyone has had experience with bryston amps matched to revel speakers, specifically the performa 3 f208's. They appear to be a reasonably priced and well regarded option for a big solid state amp like a 4b sst2. Thanks for any opinions.

Well, I use a set of Revel 50-A's with the 28's which I like very much....but were always looking.
been meaning to for a long time to HOME Audition the Model T;'s and mini's for my surrounds.
Have had the Revels for a long time and they do work with Bryston power,otherwise I would have let them go a long time ago,at least 5-6 yrs,so no complaints whatsoever.
I also, when I had 7B-sst's I had the same speakers.
Did have the 4B-sst but that was for the Revel S-30 surrounds which was great,but again I like POWER so now I use 2x7B-SST2 for the surrounds and same speakers.
I think I'm on the verge for a change on the speaker side of things as its been very good,but doing a home audition with some different speakers might give me a breath of fresh air,worth a shot for me and its free those home auditions.
Besides all that chatter,I think Revel and Bryston go very well together ..
Never auditioned the Revels you stated but I'd assumed they would work very well.

While I've never heard Bryston gear in my house, I did pick up some F206s a few months back and have been very pleased with them.

I can't imagine being disappointed with the F208s in their price range.

I had the Revel Salons with 4B-SST for a short while. It could not play loud rock music as I wanted and the sound was not satisfying . I switched to the 7B-SST and I had a much better experience. I cannot remember being unhappy with the 7B-SST. This was about 7 years ago. So I would assume my speakers needed more power for my listening levels. The Salons have 7 drivers and was not very sensitive.
