Best integrated amp for the new kef ls50's?


Hi there.

I am hearing great things about the new kef ls 50's. And I will be buying some soon.

What is the best integrated amp for the ls50's?

I like female vocals, jazz and alternative.

What is your recommendation under 1000 and over 2000?

So far I am interested in the Nad c390dd. But not sure its worth the price.

Probably already bought the amp of your choice. I got stupendous results so far from an old Yamaha R9....receiver?! Sounds much better than it should in our tiny 9x11 room. A Rega Brio would be scary on it, anything by Parasound, very engaging sound to say the least...I am going to try Wyred for Sound seperates next.. These are truly works of art that will give a very revealing presentation no matter what the equipment choice. I would presume one of the modern integrated choice from Yamaha or NAD would be hard to beat on a budget. Crazy good set to grow into.

Best Regards,

For over $2000: the Pass Labs INT-30A if those KEFs are efficient. Or the INT-150 if inefficient or if you like to really rock out at very high decibels.
I heard the KEF 50 demoed at THE Show Newport driven by a Parasound integrated, uncertain of the model. I thought it was the best small/budget (under say $2K) system at the show.
Not sure on the Parasound. They may have been driving a Parasound amp directly from a CD player.

If interested, I suggest you ask them.
