I have the MF M6500i and like it alot. It’s a dual mono design with balanced inputs. My speakers are not hard to drive and I don’t know if yours are. I have to crank it to 70% to get loud sound, 80% is about as loud as my speakers can tolerate or my ears for extended listening. But it does not have much distortion that I can hear. Your speakers are very good, you may want to look for a better amp, like was suggested to do them justice and get the best performance from them.
Help chosing an integated amp
I would like a lil advise or comments on two integrated amps. I am looking at two inparticular. The Musical Fidelity M6Si500 used or a new Kinki Audio EX M1. I am aware of the fact one is Chinese made and comes with those disadvantages.
I am powering Von Schweikert VR4JR speakers with an average 6 ohm rating.
I like the MF as it provides massive head room and has a good long standing reputation.
I like the Kinki as it is a bit newer technology and has the ability to roll op amps.

Both are availible at the same price.
Previous amps used were 2 X Spectron Musician III with V-cap/Bybee running in bridged mono and pre was a Joule Elextra La150 MKII SE.
I want a single box solution and may ad an external DAC at some point.
Thanks for any suggestions or comments!
