I had my LS50s running off my Ayre VX-5/20 while I was awaiting my new floorstanders to be shipped. I was amazed at how well they performed with high quality power. I have attempted to find a less powerful amp to run them in a second system and realize after some trials they really shine with quality watts. You may want to acquire the amp upgrade first and enjoy what the LS50s can do while you are awaiting your speaker upgrade.
Amp for LS50
I recentl got a pair of LS50’s and will eventually be getting a nice amp and preamp for them. I’m curious as to what amps pair best with the power hungry Kef LS50’s. I’m wondering if ClassD audio Sds470c would be a good choice being that its 300watts at 8 and 600 at 4 ohms.
Im open to all suggestions. I’d like to keep the budget for the amp at or below $1000 and maybe $500 for a preamp...
Perhaps a used Nova 300?
