Jimmypowder Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 The Kef ls 50's need plenty of power period . Absolutely nothing less than 125 watts , better at 200 watts or above . Tube amps like the Primaluna or Rogue Audio don't need that type of wattage . The Rogue Cronos Magnum II is a terrific pairing with the Kef Ls50's and a good dac . I prefer the Kef ls50's with a tube amp versus solid state any day . Link to comment
Jimmypowder Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I read somewhere (perhaps over at the AVS forums??) that that little amp is underated and actually measures with significantly more power (particularly as the ohm's drop), so perhaps that is what would give it a fighting chance with the LS50s? In any case that IDA-8 seems like it has enough power, functionality, and is priced right - that is what I would try first. Well, I first would try something from Emotiva but I am not sure if they are an option way down under... Not enough juice . I have one . Link to comment
