If you like to play music "loud" you may want more juice in a room that size with a speaker of that rating. If not it should sound wonderful. I have never found the ARC amps to have trouble driving the 4 ohm speakers I have used them with. The amp section is basicly a VT 50, little brother of the VT 100. These are a great value. You can find a CA 50 cheaper that you can buy a VT 50. No need to buy IC cables or a pre amp. The only problem with asking us is that loud to me may mean something else to you. I use an ARC VT 60 which is a great sound for the cash and the VT 50 is of that same lineage with an ARC pre amp for free.
Would I be a happy boy with an ARC CA-50?
I found an ARC CA-50 on Audiogon ad. I've read reviews of it from time to time, but I've never used one before.
I am mainly interested in this integrated amp to stop me from spending more on audio purchases. Ok, I know that won't happen. But, at least, I don't need to buy too many cables with an integrated.
Anyhow, I have a pair of KEF 103/4. I can only find specs on KEF.com for the current Reference 1 and 2, which the 103/4 is in between in regards to technical specs. The sensitivity - 2.83v @ 1m would be around 88db. The living room is about 20x15x10.
Sound preference: I like analytical dry "British" sounding audio gear like KEF and Tannoy professional speakers. As long as the detail is accurate, there is ample soundstage and the frequency response is flat, I am a happy boy.
Thanks y'all.
