Amp for Kef reference 1 -Ayre Acoustics AX-5 0 Match?

Curious if anyone has heard the Kef reference 1’s with the Ayre AX-5? I also have an Exasound e62 Dac that has a great volume control and could be used as a preamp.

Want to get as much out of the Kef’s as I can (at 85 db they are a bit finicky and need high current) and looking for an awesome power supply - don’t need a built in DAC or streamer.
I’ve also considered the Coda CSIB as well as the boulder 866.
Any other suggestions, insights or comments would be much appreciated. Looking in the 4 - 5 grand range

Joey yes the client brought it in

Hate to Break it to you but we have some serious doubts about your hearing kef builds some of the worlds Best loudspeakers and they are tottally acurate and if you use the right gear they sound amazing

Joey we arealso sure you base your kef comments on hearing kefs at Best buy rather then a dealer with both the experience and matching gear to make the speakers come alive

We would invite you to come visit our new Jersey showrooms to see for yourself we have the largest selection of equipment in the tri state area with five soundrooms and.over60 lines on display

Joey hears great 
you were also incorrect on truly hearing the Signature that’s discussed either sloppy observation or convenient Slippery 
which one is it?
