I have heard the 1.3SEs through both a McIntosh 6500 and a Blue Circle BS24 Integrated amp. The 1.3SEs sounded much better through the blue circle. The McIntosh is not the type of amp to induce listener fatigue and the 1.3SEs are already plenty detailed but not sharp. So if the 1.4s sound a little sharp through them, for your preference they are sharp. Some people like their music that way. You already know what you like to hear.
Judging from your tastes, the blue circle will take you even more in the direction you want to go. Clear, open, beautiful, non-fatiging. The blue circle does not have the grain of the Mac and extends the highs even a little more than the Mac without fatigue and has a rich midrange as well. Happy listening.
