Integrated power for KEF R3 Meta


I have heard these are hard to drive, leaning toward the Technics SU G700 M2, 

It can handle a 4 ohm load but is 70 WPC enough? Room is 15’ x 15'

 

Thanks

I agree with Jeffreyw. I have found that without power the reference and the old r series want power.  The bass doesn’t develop without power.

I sold Kefs for years.  They sound very good with lees than a 100 watts.  The bass comes to life with power.  You think you are listening to a different speaker regardless of volume with power

The Kefs absolutely need power and not just brute force...you want an amp that can swing between 2-8 Ohms because that is the R3’s performance range. I have the R3’s paired with a Parasound A23+ power amp great match but since you are seeking an intergrated the Parasound Hint 6 will serve you well and save you a ton of money over most everything else being suggested here.
