amp for kef 300

[hybridauth_Facebook_10153995022551303]

hi im looking for an budget no frills amp to drive my kef q300. I dont need something without all the bells and knobs like a DAC as i currently have a Y2 DAC. Could anyone recommend me something that is class AB and at least 50 watts and doesn't break the bank.

it would be also awesome to have at least an earphone jack where i can plug in my westone W40

Edit: currently looking at onkyo a-9010 right now.

What about the Rega Brio-R?

Rega is a good call.

If you don't mind s/hand then Rotel RA-06SE should match the Kefs well, as would Roksan Kandy K2 or Naim Nait 5i.

Pardon me, but what is s/hand?

I like the size of Rega Brio-R a lot but it would be great if it has an earphone jack as well

Second hand.

A good way of maximising your budget..

I've paired my kef q300 with marantz pm6003. I'm very hapy with this combination.

Current version of this amp is pm6005 which comes with integrated DAC. You could find second hand pm6004 (http://www.whathifi.com/marantz/pm6004/review) on ebay for 300-350$. which should be a great match.

NAD 326bee. Sounds very similar to rega brio r, but with a bit more bass. Also roksan Kandy, and Cambridge audio 351a (looks like the 351a might not be available anymore?).

listened to the r300 with a Abrahamsen audio amp v2.0 sounded amazing to me, the amp is an absolutle beast as well

+1 for this, as well as Abrahamsen.
