Yes, im waiting to get Ref6 for demo soon. Hope to get good price (concerning REF6SE coming)
My Speakers are Neat Ultimatum MF5.
Recently I took at home Vitus Ri-100 and it gives more strong bass. But in the same time HF and MIDS accuracy (and the scene) is on a poor level comparing to KX-5/VX-5 twenty (some time i even thought that there were distortion with Ri-100). Ayre is one of the best in terms of accuracy and tonal neutrality. I revaluted this amplification. Its very good.
Also I used RI-100 preamps section with VX-5 and found that VX-5 has strong bass and grip when appropriate preamp is used. But I also willing to get the second VX-5 for bi-amp
