KLH Model 3 owners - something different

For those of you who own this speaker and really enjoy it. I'm curious about your amplifier pairing that is not one of the main stream amps (Arcam SA 20, Yamaha AS line, Cambridge CXA81) often recommended for the model 3. I have the model 3's and do enjoy them with a Yamaha AS-801. I'm wondering if the speaker has more to give in terms of any or most sound attributes with a non main stream, unique and better pairing. Maybe something like a Belles, Electrocompaniet, Leben, etc...

I have the model 3's in a modest system - Mytek Brooklyn DAC+, Bluesound streamer, MOFI ultradeck and preamp. This is setup in a second listening room\office which is mid-size.

Budget is anywhere up to 3k.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Interesting. Bumping this to the top but will delete in a couple of days if there is no input. Is my question, looking for something different for the Model 3, too specific or not worthy of interest? I was thinking because the Model 3 is so heavily reviewed there might be a unique amplifier paring.

Yes, you can do better than a Yamaha 801. A Musical Fidelity M5si or M6si would be big step for power and control.

Thanks Russ. I would never have thought of pairing the KLH Model 3 with a Musical Fidelity. Do you have this pairing?
