Which amp would you choose for a JBL 4367 setup?

One good thing about the Kinki EX-M1 is that the unit has the input stage op-amps mounted in sockets, so you can play around with swapping different op amps to change the "voice" of the amp just like a tube amp. You can get some really nice Burson discrete opamps or other such as OPA627 or OPA1612 or OPA1611 on dual adapter.

Just make sure to identify single-channel op amps and dual-channel op amps.

It looks like the 2021 Kinki models have the op amps placed very tightly together. The older Kinki EX-M1 have them spaced out more and you could possibly put in a larger Sonic Imagery or Staccato op amps.

line magnetic lm-508ia 300b 805 should be very good,and the price is under USD4000

Very important to get warrant when you buy the amplifier.

 

I am late to this thread but want to share my 2 cents. I have owned the 4367 for 3 years and paired it with more than two dozen amps. In my small 13 x 14 ft room, a Cyrus 6 XPD beat all other amps hands down, including a pair of Cary 805 RS which is supposed to be the best tube monoblocks for high-efficiency speakers and cost 10x more. But when I move to a large room 19x25, the magic disappeared and the little Cyrus started to show its weakness. So I guess the bog woofers interacting with the room is a major factor as well. Talking about small tube amps 30-40 watts with high current, I have tried both Unison Research S6 and Finale Audio F-120 Mk2, both sound warm and musical but a little slow and disengaging. I guess the big woofers just need a higher dumping factor to stay under control. Talking about high power solid state amps, I tried Krell 575 XD which is designed by people from Mark Levinson, however they were never a good match. I got fairly good sound with a Vincent SV-700 hybrid, but I simply miss the magic when I had the Cyrus 6 XPD and 4367 in a small room... all said, you have to try and I wish you good luck, and the room plays a major roll as well, not just the speakers, or the amp.

I have the JBL 4367 and i've paired them with a Mcintosh Ma9000 and Ma6600 and while it sounded good it didn't sound amazing - a bit thin. I then powered them with, and bear with me, A schiit Freya+ preamp (I was skeptical at first) and a Magnus Audio ma400... it was MAGIC, seriously powerful and robust. you can get the schiit Frey+ for 800 and the Magnus Audio ma400 for 4500 through JM sound. Lastly I had it hooked up to an Audio Research VSi75 (integrated), build quality feels like scat BUT the sound was SUPERB. Best combo Ive found and actually listened to. Those mids were sooooo nice. There is a guy on Audiogon selling one new in the box for 4300. WELL worth it. Hope this helps.

MAC7200 was a steal. It`s more likely 6000Eur + shipping, used. 

I paid $4250 for my used Mcintosh MAC7200 including shipping. Not too far from 4000 euros

Thank you for all the responses! Unfortunately, the Mac and the Mark Levinson is over my price range. I`d prefer solid state over tube, under 3500-4000 euros, used. Integrated or pre+amp(s). I don`t need DAC etc.

I also own a pair of JBL 4367s, bought them right after they were introduced. I originally powered them with a Pass Labs XA 30.5, but soon upgraded to a McIntosh MC 452. The McIntosh was a much better match for them, this combination sounds incredible, especially at high SPLs. My room is about 17 x 21 x 8, the McIntosh never runs out of head room and the sound is clean and clear at any volume

I have the JBL 4365's and running them currently with Audio Note Kits 40w EL34 mono blocks. While is sounds very good, the best my speakers have sounded is with high watt solid state and Class D. So if the 4367's are any like the 4365's, they will thrive with plenty of power behind them. 

Since the JBL 4367 is not a very popular large speakers( compare to B&W, Wilson Audio, Focal,....), you won’t get as many  first hand advices. I am one of the few who own the JBL 4367 and am using a Mcintosh MAC7200 integrated (200Watt/Channel   SS amp). It’s very warm and musical. But not the quickest and most analytical amp on the market. My listening sessions are usually 2-3 hours nonstop daily and on lower volumes, I prefer this warm and polite amp. 
     I picked Mcintosh simply because when I search JBL 4367 on YouTube, it’s mostly powered by either Mark Levinson or Mcintosh on high end audio shows. If the manufacturers uses Those two amps, they must be good matches . Don’t you agree? But if you have the luxury to try out different amps before you buy go for it .

I'm prejudiced in that I have the JBL 4319 monitors with the Kinki EX-M1 and LOVE it. The fact that the money you'd save on the Kinki and using it for better than usual cabling shows you're on the right track. 👍

All the best,
Nonoise

TUBES tubes tubes tubes!Quote from the Positive Feedback review:
"a high quality 30W tube amp capable of delivering large current to the speakers should do a great job with 4367"...If it was me,I would go with a 300B Push Pull unless the room is really big...
