Marantz Pearl Lite for LS50, or..


Hi everybody,

I just bought the KEF LS50, and currently in the looking for an amp.
My room is not very big, roughly 15m2, and I'm initially looking at Roksan Kandy K2, but currently there is one seller in my local forum is selling his few months old Marantz Pearl Lite, so I've been thinking about it.

Does anyone know whether this pairing will work in my room?

Also, as I'm totally new in this thing, will a pure Class A tube amp with 18 Watt sufficient for my room?

Any other recommendation is also appreciated.

Before I forget, my budget is roughly at $1500, and I listen to most type of music, especially progressive rock, jazz, metal, bossanova, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Marantz PM-KI Pearl Lite is one hell of a good amplifier. I believe also value of new one is worth its price. I have to say that I had 5 times more expensive amps at home on trial and at the end I opted for this fine Marantz PM-KI Pearl Lite amplifier. Whatever Marantz did it did excellent and this gear is producing music. Here is my review that I did when I bought it and a revisit of review after almost a year of living with it. Click.
