Integrated power for KEF R3 Meta

The Technics will be more than sufficient. At 4R, it is rated at 140 WPC (70 WPC is at 8R). It is a GaN FET design, as you probably already know, so efficient. This is from Technics' premium line (all they do anymore).

KEF specifies 15-180W. You will be fine with the Technics, which is an excellent integrated amp.

87dB 4 ohm if we are to believe KEF. We are speaking here of the R3 Metas, which attractively sell for around $2K a pair. They are well-rated around the web. So as to avoid confusion, we are not talking about the KEF Reference series standmounts (at $9K or thereabouts.) You appear skeptical the Technics GaN FET at 70/140W at 8 ohms/4 ohms respectively is up to the task. And your example that a 200W Luxman isn't (against a different KEF speaker, BTW) but a $20K Luxman power amp has what it takes. And you question whether I'm giving bad advice?

O.K., there. (I see why this site gets to be the butt of jokes elsewhere.)

I give the OP the benefit of the doubt that before dropping his money on a new standmount system (and what sounds as if it will be a good one) he will try out the integrated amp he is interested in before committing to buy. I will observe that one

reviewer tested the R3s using an NAD M23 (a 200W Purifi Eigentakt "class-D" amp) with excellent results. I have similar spec standmounts (not the R3s, to be fair) and use similar spec integrated amps and find those power levels to be more than adequate.
