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.

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.

I have the LS50's paired with Audio Research VSi55 I got for 1830 on audiogon. They are an amazing match. I don't think I could do much better. I keep on thinking of ways to change/upgrading the integrated but just in the end don't want to loose the synergy of this setup, its phenomenal, even despite being set up in a fairly large room with 9 foot ceilings.

If I had a balanced source I would like to compare it to a Ayre Ax-7e someday...

Entry level Transparent cabling and a Bluesound Vault as a source using the on board DAC. Soon to be switch to a Auralic Aries Mini.
