What Amplifier would you recommend to power KEF Q350’s?


Hi I’m in the market to upgrade my amp from a Sherwood to something a little more suited to the rest of my setup.

I bought a Cambridge audio CXA60 a while ago, but failed to realize it was certified for 110 volts, so when I plugged it into the 220 volt wall oultlet it completely fried the insides :/

Feel free to suggest any amps that would work nicely with the q350’s. I’m not looking for an overkill 200-watt amp, something that has just enough, but will punch way above it’s weight in terms of sonic clarity

also, would a Marantz HD-Amp 1 have enough current?

price range: $500 - $1500

Why in the world would you be willing to spend $1500 to power $550 bookshelves? Your amps should not cost more than your speakers.  
  
I wouldn’t get better than a Yamaha S501. Even if you’d be upgrading speakers in the future, a $550 integrated is easily suitable for even $2000 speakers.
