Integrated Amp Suggestions
@carlsbad  +1  the Home Theater outputs  of the Kinki EX M1+   are  RCA. If the Home Theater pre/pro  of the OP  has  XLR inputs only  , he will need adaptor, which is never very good. I have almost bought this Kinki but all my input on my HT ...

One good choice would be Accuphase E-480 Attenuator button put the E-480  on Amplifier mode , if I understand it well. I have once looked at this integrated with HTB  but I choose Soulution INT 330 instead.

Magico A5 Burn-In Experiences?
Audiovectors speakers are often paired with Gryphon in Audio Shows. They both are made in Denmark . But I do not think it is the main reason.  
Gryphon Diablo vs. McIntosh C2700/MC611
Dealers that carry McIntosh gears , also carry Sonus Faber. Stricly , on money stand point , you would have better deals if you buy both brands from the same dealer. And may be , Sonus Faber pairs very well with McIntosh. Just my 2 cents.
