Best Amplifier & Speakers combo?


Hello!

I’m moving to the next level for my stereo setting, with the budget cap I have I could get one of the following amp + speaker combos:

1. Cambridge Audio CX81 + KEF Q150

2. Cambridge Audio CX61 + KEF LS50 Meta

 

99% of the time I will use the system to listen records.

 

Which combo would you choose for a small/medium room? Or any other comparable model recommendations.

 

Thank you all!!!

I would offer two suggestions.  1-Take the LS50 over the Q series, noticeable bump up in SQ IMO.  Both of my kids bought used LS50s and are very pleased. 2-The non-Meta KEF R3s are being discounted now and should be a strong consideration.  They will sound a bit fuller than the much smaller LS50s since they have a dedicated bass driver.  I'm sure they will do better with a bit more power which can be an upgrade down the line.  Good luck and cheers.
