To drive the mid/tweet modules, I think you'd be in great shape with M60s. I'm a dealer for both brands, though I haven't had a pair of the active Revolutions in my place yet. For the woofer section, or for passive Revolutions, I'd lean towards beefy solid state.

  I have Dynavector SS amps on the top and bottom at the moment, but am looking for a fast tube amp that offers tube qualities for the mid/tweet section. Any other suggestions?

    In my opinion the Revolutions like a very fast, lively amplifier. Most tube amps imho are not a good match for the Revolutions. I think you're on the right page - the OTL page - in looking for a tube amp to drive the mid/tweet modules. In addition to Atma-Sphere, I think Joule Electra would also work well.

      Duke, just curious, but do you have a preferred SS amp for the Gradients?

        Among the amps I have tried on the passive Revolutions, the Parasound JC-1 is my favorite so far.
