It's always great when you can audition an amp with your speakers. What amps does your KEF dealer sell? When I bought my speakers I was able to listen to them with my amps and pre.... Owning the KEFs already you have a benchmark how they sound with excellent amps. Obviously everything including the room plays into it. Gonna be tough, the JC 1 amps are very good. Good luck on your search. Theta has some nice offerings that might pair nicely with your pre.
