Integrated Amplifier for KEFLS50's or Bowers & Wilkins 706 S2's

My college roommate, whom I've known for over 25 years, and who introduced me to this rabbit hole of a hobby, went to RMAF with me a few years ago and heard the LS50s for the first time. We were both really impressed. He recently re-entered the home system market after working outside of the US for a few years and getting completely into the high end headphone space, and of course he bought a pair of KEF LS50s because his space is limited and they are amazing for the price. His amp selection after multiple research trips to RMAF and dealerships across the middle east and Europe was the Rost. This is not a guy who settles for anything, he buys new and takes his equipment very seriously. So this is a big vote for the Rost or at least Hegel. 
As for myself, I have heard Hegel multiple years at RMAF and have never been disappointed. A detailed description of their proprietary amp tech from one of their reps at RMAF made me a believer, I don't think you can go wrong with this brand.

I have read tons of recommendations regarding pairing KEF with Hegel. I have the KEF R5's for home theater, but plan on getting a Hegel integrated amp soon to pair them for music.

Thanks for the info about Hegel. That is helpful. Do you know if your friend uses Apple products (laptop, iPhone or iPad) in conjunction with his Hegel Most int amp?

Thanks for the response.

I plan on building a 2.1 Channel Audio/Home Theater system around the Hegel H120 or Arcam SA30 integrated amp. The goal is to create a system where I can listen to “HiFi” quality 2.1 audio through streaming, vinyl and CD’s and where the left and right channel speakers and the subwoofer also provide the audio for TV and movies. Will your KEF R5's and Hegel int amp be used in this way? Or are you using a AVR with multiple speakers like a 3.1, 5.1 et?

Also will you be able to demo the Hegel int amp and which one are you considering?
