The pairing of the Carrera Be and the Kinki is great. Actually Fritz had the same pairing and admitted to me that he sold his Kinki Integrated too soon without giving it enough time to break-in properly. He realized it when he went to a customers house and heard the pairing with an amp that had many hundreds more hours than his did. Since the Carrera's have been rotated through three different systems during the space of almost a year they have been fronted by the PS Audio BHK 250, Van Alstine Vision SET 400 and the Kinki EX-M7 all combined with the Supratek Chardonnay preamp. Also tried them with the newest 2020 version of the EX-M1+ and the Audia Flight FL Three S. Any if the three integrateds would be a good choice. The two Kinki's just have a slightly different look and a different volume control module which with the Carrera's lower sensitivity doesn't matter. They are more on the neutral side than the warmer voiced Audia Flight which from Fritz's description to me would be closer to the Belles Aria. So it kind of comes down to what direction you want the Carrera's to go in. They will let you know what amp is on the other end.
