Steve, for years my reference in my home system was a pair of monoblock Aleph 1's with a ML-32 preamp which sounded great together.
So, I believe the pieces you are asking about could offer a very good synergy together, the ML-380 is not quite on the same level as a ML-32, but should be close enough in its performance to get to what I heard with my pieces when I had them.
