I'm really enjoying them paired with a KH 805 II:

And the MA 1 worked it's magic:

Just a question : you don't use anymore the big (and beautiful) Yamaha amp and preamp ? Which passive speakers did (or do) you use with these electronics ?

Yes, the M-5000 power amp is turned off for now. The C-5000 preamp is still in use to feed the Neumann subwoofer. The previous speakers were Yamaha NS-5000s. I still have them and may switch back to them someday.

Are you going to add another sub one day?

I'd enjoy the visual symmetry, but another would be dangerous in my 2.7m x 5.2m (9' x 17') room.

No, it would be beneficial.

More subs do not mean more bass but more balanced bass across a larger space - if set up correctly.
