Are you using a sub or pair of subs with those nice but small and inefficient speakers?
I do not see pre-out/main in on the rogue rp-1 preamp on order. That is what you would want to go out to a stereo pair of self-powered subs, send the bass load away from both your amp and your KEFs.
then, I would go with the Carver, stick with tubes to drive the KEFs, subs drive themselves.
