anyone pair the Kinki Studio EX-M1 amp with Ascend RAAL Towers?
I'm looking for an integrated stereo amp to pair with my Ascend Towers with the RAAL tweeters. Amp must have a home theatre bypass, non-tube, and I would prefer 100+ wpc. $3,000 USD is my max spend. I will have dual Rythmik L22 sealed subs hooked up to the integrated pre outs for the stereo music playback also. (These subs and towers are part of my H/T setup.)
I'm seriously considering the Kinki Studio EX-M1+ and wanted to hear if anyone has heard this amp/speaker combination. Have read that speaker matching is important with this amp as the midrange could sound thin.
I'm also considering the Musical Fidelity M5si. I think the Kinki would be a step up from this.
Kinki's been getting very good reviews, and I'm looking for very good stereo music playback. An AVR just does not cut it for me for music.
