Hegel 80 with either KEF LS50 or KEF R300

Hi,

Heard Kef is great match with Hegel. Integrated amps. Does anyone have experience with Hegel. and KefLS50 and Kef R300? Currently using Monitor Audio RX6. My speaker cable is Nordost. Purple flare, QB4, Nordost.blue heaven power cords and OPPO 105.

Any suggestions? Also if anyone can clarify if r300 are much better than LS50? My room is 15 x 13ft wood floors.

Thanks in advance

If you can afford do get the H160 - it requires about 100 hours of burn in though fascinatingly my brother auditioned it with the Bryston B135 - and Magico S1 speakers and the H160 came out on the top, i feel the LS50 and H80 has a wonderful synergy, we tried it on some PMC speakers the Brystan sounded better, then went to a Ktema Accordo and the Hegel to top again - Hegels are extremely neutral amps!

Hi. Thanks for advice so far. Forgot to mention I own a Bevel 80 already so not looking to change the amp. However more to do with speaker matching. Thanks

Morty, the LS50s are excellent as you have probably read - I have mine with the 50 w/ch Arcam A19. The power is plenty (my room is medium, about 14' x 20'). I wanted to check out the Hegel but it does not have a headphone jack, which is important to me. My dealer who sold me the LS50s also recommended Hegel. If you get the LS50s please post a response with your impressions on the pairing.

Will do Jimmy. Actually properly going to get R300 after speaking with a couple of people.
