Monitor Audio Platinum + Audio Research

Hi All,
has aynone auditioned modern Audio Research gear with Monitor Audio Platinum speakers?
I'm considering ARC VS115+LS26 hooked up to MA Platinum 100 (monitors) but cannot give it a try before buy, so has to rely on opinions.
At the time I tried MA PL200 (middle sized floorstander) with Jadis 80 and it was a good match, but on the warm side.
Btw, any ideas on other speakers for that preamp/poweramp are also very welcome.

Thanks in advance
