Although I haven't heard it, I know someone who has the MF integrated and likes it. Another consideration may be the Peachtree Nova 150 integrated which includes a DAC. For speakers, I strongly suggest you consider Elac Uni-Fi UB5. A few months ago when I had to send my KEF LS Metas off for repair, I picked up a pair of the Elacs used for just over $200. I was totally astonished at how good they are and perform well above their price point, not much of a dropoff from my KEFs.

Amazing tips Chris, thank you. I love the looks of Nova150 too, this is another advice in Peachtree direction, I will definitely consider it, looking at some reviews as I type.

Tekton Lore or Mimi Lore are very efficient, sound great and don't need stands. The efficiency willl widen your amp choices.

    The Klipsch RP series are well reviewed I use one as my center speaker. Easy to drive, too. Good value for money.

      Couldn't agree more. I've got both the 600M's and Heresy 3's. When I look for speakers, I shoot for a tube friendly impedance as a priority. Of course if they're tube friendly 8 ohm designs, solid state amps will be welcome as well.
