I have the Kef iQ5s and I use an Audiolab 8000S integrated amp which to my ears, seems a very good partnership. I auditioned the Rotel RA-05 and RA-06 with the Kefs, but they seemed to exaggerate the high end and produced a jarring sibilance on some tracks which I couldn't live with.
>From your perspective, the Audiolab has different modes of operation, including a pre power AV mode which allows the pre amp and power amp to operate separately. I think this would allow you to feed the pre-amp out from your receiver to the power in on the Audiolab which I suspect would allow you to use just the receiver volume control for AV use (but please check, I haven't tried this). As always, what's good for my ears may not be for yours, so do try to audition the amp with the Kefs if possible. A good dealer should let you take the Audiolab home for a trial. Mine did. -- Fifer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fifer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=639 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40353 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
