    Some distortion heard on the loudest piano notes-was that the mic pre, the mic or the speakers?

      @@dnd6379 yes, they are metallic tweeters. How sharp the tweeter sounds can be dependant on the type of amplifier you use. Vacuum tube amps sounds really good with my KEF R5's. If you don't have an Amp right now and you want the KEF's I would look for an Amp that's warm sounding. Also, you can use different filters on your DAC that would produce more or less extended high end.

I also have a Cambridge Audio Azur 851w that sounds really good also. You can try Parasound also, I hear that the A23 + is a great Amp. If you are willing to go used you can get access to many great amps under $2k. Unfortunately sometimes you have to get the gear and try it out before you find out if it is going to work for you. Try to make you purchase somewhere that gives you a 30 day return.
