Audio refinement complete?

Hello, I am interested in buying a dedicated cd player and integrated amp with a warm sound from the same company. I am not sure of the sonic signature of the audio refinement complete integrated and cd player but they both have received good reviews. I am looking to stay under 1,000 for the purchase of both, would they be my best bet for a warm-like sound. Currently I am using my marantz dv 7600 as my cd player. How will the refinement compare to the marantz? By the way these will be driving ascend acoustics sierra ones or b and w 685s havent made up my mind thanks to all!

Can anyone reccommend a better integrated cd combo for under one thousand used?

Yes, the refinement seems like a killer integrated as far as true sound quality goes, but likely I will be using inefficient bookshelves, either b and w cm1 (84db), 685 (88db), or ascend acoustics sierra 1 ( 86db). My question is no longer adressing the quality of the amp, but rather if it was designed or is capable of driving the less efficient speaker with only 50 watts?????

Do you think it will do the sierra 1's justice though? I mean they have low sensitivity (86db)and the audio refinement can only do 50w

I am deciding whether to get the yba ya 201 integrated or the audio refinement complete, the yba goes for a little under double what the audio refinement does, is it worth the difference????
