Gryphon Diablo 120, Luxman L-590AXII, Other? For KEF R11

I have a MyTek Manhattan II and Parasound A21+ right now paired with my KEF R11’s.  Use the MyTek as preamp/DAC/streamer - considering replacing it and the Parasound with an integrated.  Have the opportunity to pick up the Gryphon or the Luxman for a good price -any thoughts on what may be a better match for the KEFs?  Any other suggestions for a good match in a similar price range? Thanks!

As an FYI, I reached out to a dealer contact - one that I had demoed the KEF Reference with before.  He now reps Gryphon and has the 120 on demo.  He advised that the Gryphon would not be a good match for the KEFs.  I respect his opinion as he has a pretty straightforward style.

Back to the drawing board for me!

He didn’t - he offered a few suggestions on speakers that would go better with the Gryphon.
