KEF LS50 Integrated recommendation

I am putting together a second system for audio, in a room that is 12x20x8 feet. Moderately furnished and treated.

I am seriously considering the Naim Nait 5 i, xs, or xs-2. I have slso considered the Simaudio I-1, Peachtree Nova, Unison Unico hybrid and Musical Fidelity.

Recommendations/experience with integrateds in the 50 to 100 wpc would be most appreciated.

I'd use a Vincent hybrid with LS50s.

I have the LS50's paired with Audio Research VSi55 I got for 1830 on audiogon. They are an amazing match. I don't think I could do much better. I keep on thinking of ways to change/upgrading the integrated but just in the end don't want to loose the synergy of this setup, its phenomenal, even despite being set up in a fairly large room with 9 foot ceilings.

If I had a balanced source I would like to compare it to a Ayre Ax-7e someday...

Entry level Transparent cabling and a Bluesound Vault as a source using the on board DAC. Soon to be switch to a Auralic Aries Mini.
