I’ve heard them with Moon separates and Gryphon separates and Acuphase integrated and Audio Research separates. For my ear, it was the Audio Research REF 6SE and 160S. (If I had the room, I would have bought a pair of 160M’s)
I had a pair of SF Serafino’s at the time.
I’m currently breaking in a new pair of Amati Traditions with ARC gear and I’m so happy.
Is there any chance your dealer would let you audition any stuff at home…??
have fun…!
