Hi everyone,
So I bought a pair of KEF LS50s after months of deliberation, but now I need an amp good enough to drive them, my budget is around 600 to a maximum 1000 pounds, I will be using them in a fairly small room and will need a decent phono stage as I primarily play vinyl. I know they can be a little tricky to drive, or so I have heard.. to get their full potential. I've heard the Arcam A19 and thought it was a pretty good pairing, but the wattage seems a little on the limp side for these speakers?
Others I am considering are the Roksan Kandy K2, powerful though quite ugly looking imo. I was also looking at the Creek Evolution 50A which I like but still haven't heard.
Anyone who owns these speakers shed some light on their amps for these? So I can at least get some ballpark ideas and set up some demos if possible.
