Electronics to go with KEF LS 50

I am considering purchasing various components that I can carry on a plane and set up a very musical home system in an apartment in Latin America (I listen to jazz, r&b, classic pop, African music and Brazilian music). I plan to get the KEF LS 50 speakers. I have thought about getting a REGA Brio/Apollo combo but am concerned that I can't steam Pandora through them. Alternatively I have thought of substituting an Oppo player for the Apollo or the Naim Uniti Lite or Uniti 2 in place of both Rega components. Your thoughts would be appreciated!

I am using a Nad D7050 to drive my LS50s. Although the amp is only rated at 50w per channel at 4 ohm the sound is very very good (I am not a real audiophile so I am not sure about my standards of good sound...). Anyway I am very happy with the combination.

The d7050 is a great small system for anyone that listen to most of its music in the digital domain. In addition, it is very small and therefore easy to carry on a plane (which is what I did).

I would definitely go with computer audio, some great DAC's are very small and you can store plenty right on your laptop and eliminate the need of carrying a CD player or transport.
There are also some decent integrates around today that have a DAC built in. With That, you would need your amp, Your speakers and a laptop and would have very good performance.
good luck, Tim
