Best integrated amp for the new kef ls50's?

Hi there.

I am hearing great things about the new kef ls 50's. And I will be buying some soon.

What is the best integrated amp for the ls50's?

I like female vocals, jazz and alternative.

What is your recommendation under 1000 and over 2000?

So far I am interested in the Nad c390dd. But not sure its worth the price.

For over $2000: the Pass Labs INT-30A if those KEFs are efficient. Or the INT-150 if inefficient or if you like to really rock out at very high decibels.

I heard the KEF 50 demoed at THE Show Newport driven by a Parasound integrated, uncertain of the model. I thought it was the best small/budget (under say $2K) system at the show.

I didn't think Parasound made an integrated. Please elaborate.

Not sure on the Parasound. They may have been driving a Parasound amp directly from a CD player.

If interested, I suggest you ask them.

My friend runs a Parasound A23 with the Kef LS50's and its a beautiful combination.
