B&W 804S + $2,000 used integrated

Hello. I am looking for a good integrated to match my B&W 804s. I am leaning heavily towards a used Musical Fidelity a5.5 Integrated or maybe a McIntosh Integrated. Any suggestions/experience with this match?

I mainly listen to acoustic jazz.

Well, I've narrowed it down to either a Musical Fidelity a5.5 or a Vincent SV-236 MKII.

Can those "in-the-know" please explain to me the basic differences in sound I should expect between the two?

Also, would these be compatible with the B&W 683's as well?

Okay, another decision to be made...

For those who have heard both the MF A5.5 & the A308, how do they compare to each other? Aside from the overall consensus that the A308 is built from higher quality parts, preference seems to be a mixed bag.

Boy, do I pine for the opportunity to audition each!
