anyone pair the Kinki Studio EX-M1 amp with Ascend RAAL Towers?

I'm looking for an integrated stereo amp to pair with my Ascend Towers with the RAAL tweeters. Amp must have a home theatre bypass, and I would prefer 100+ wpc. $3,000 USD is my max spend.   I will have dual Rythmik L22 sealed subs hooked up to the integrated pre outs for the stereo music playback also. (These subs and towers are part of my H/T setup.)

I'm seriously considering the Kinki Studio EX-M1+ and wanted to hear if anyone has heard this amp/speaker combination.  Have read that matching is important with this amp as the midrange could sound thin.

thanks

I am really considering to get the ex-m1+ soon (when my actual amp will be sold). I can not listen to it but I contact several persons who have it and listen to it. They confirm what I read in the reviews: well balanced amp, neutral, dynamic with a good stage.  At low level, it gives its full sound so use it with efficient speakers is not stupid. Another aspect, that the ex-m1 has the ability to reproduce easly the ambiance of live recording. 

As a lot of person, I do not like buy without listening, this time I am confident. Hope that help !

Thanks for the info. I really think I'm going to order one this week. Nervous about it, but really looking forward to what it could do for me.

I drive the Sierra w/RAAL with a nova 300 for SS and a Raven Audio Blackhawk Mk 3.1 (20 watts, tubes) and the speakers just sound good.

Going to build 2 Amp Camp Amps and comfigure the amps for mono next.
