Need recommendation for my hybrid system

Wondering if anyone has heard any of the following pairings w Sonus Faber Evoltuion. 

Krell Phantom
Krell 202 E
McIntosh C1000
Jeff Rowland 625

@ Todd

Thanks for the input.  As for AV pre/pro I can’t decided yet so I’m just going to focus on the audio for now. 

Ive been told that the McIntosh gear will make the SF speakers too warm and laid back. Anyone on here have similar or difference experenence with Mac and SF pairing?

I did demo the C2500 and MC452, together, with a set of SF’s. It was not to my liking. From my recollection, the mid-range seemed a little too verbose on some recordings. Not quite muddy, maybe laid back is the accurate description when people describe the combo. It was in a room treated environment, possibly they didn’t have the correct absorbtion/reflection panels applied.

Out of everything I sampled, the vinyl version of Metallica’s 9.98 EP sounded the best I’ve ever heard it. Vinyl and digital versions from Radiohead, Dave Matthews Band, Leo Kottke, Miles Davis just didn’t sound right to me.

I'm also now realizing you posted in another topic regarding the MX151 vs. Krell vs. Arcam.  Which pre did you end up going with?

Consider Ayre, and Parasound JC2 BP

I realize everything can be very subjective and there are numerous opinions regarding sound.  For me, I’ve found that the McIntosh C2500 has been the perfect fit.  As I progressed in upgrading my amps, swapping between DACs, getting into vinyl...getting out of vinyl, swapping in a couple different preamps, going direct from my DAC and the list goes on, I kept coming back to my C2500.  I did purchase an original set of Mullard tubes to replace the output stage on the C2500 and that has been the most significant impact to the overall presentation; which I think is probably obvious.  I don’t use the onboard DAC and didn’t use the phono stages, so I can’t comment on their value.

I’ve listened to a couple ARC’s, I liked them, but preferred my McIntosh.  I also listened to the PS Audio BHK pre, sounded great, but they lack tone controls; which may or may not be a deal breaker.  For me, it was.  Though, both (McIntosh/PS Audio) can be placed inline and used in a HT setup, as they have HT pass-through.  I’ve since moved on and have two completely separate systems, one for HT and one for dedicated 2-channel.  

I don’t recall if the ARC’s you’re referring to have HT passthru.  I looked at the Ref 6 documentation and it wasn’t referenced, so I don’t think it does.
