I tried my REF 10 with my Mcintosh MC 1.2KW. While this combo gives good result I elected to get a C1000 to match the MC1.2KW input impedance. The ARC pre-amp are really tuned to match the impedance of ARC amp which are typically much higher then a solid state amp. Just something to keep in mind when trying to match your ARC pre-amp with non-ARC amp.
I am still keeping my REF 10 which I bellieve to be one of the best pre-amp out there, and it IS a perfect match for my REF 750 tube amps...
