I use a McIntosh mc402 with Kef Reference 1s. I feel the two work well together with the Mac's applying needed smoothness to the Kef metal drivers.
Kef and McIntosh
any thoughts on matching Kef R3 or an older 103/3 with an MC2255 and C33 pre? I’m trying to decide if I keep the Mac gear long term but don’t really have any adequate speakers for them right now and these 2 options are available locally for pretty good price.
edit: should add that the Kube equalizer would be coming with the 103s
