Hi All,
Can you please let me know if anyone using the above combo? Do they work well together? Any issues?
Thanks

Hello Primare , the most imported issue is the input impedance of the Mac 's .ARC REF 3 likes 100 to 200 kOhm ,
see the specs of the balanced power amps of ARC .The input imp of the Mac 's is 20 kOhm , you have to try , as it is possible you loose low frequencies . I 'm using BAT VK1000
monoblocks with my ARC REF 3 with excellent results.
