Integrated to go with KEF LS50


I am looking for a good integrated amp to pair with KEF LS50 speakers and
Dynaudio X32 speakers. I have Primaluna separates that are 45 or so watts per
channel) but sometimes want to just go in and fire up the old stereo and start
listening instead of warm up time etc. My Primaluna sounds great with the
majority of my music (acoustic, folk, jazz) but sometimes I would like to play
some King Crimson of something harder or not so well recorded. Any
recommendation on an integrated amp (I only have one shelf available) that would
work. Both of these speakers are around 86 db so more power would be great. I am
trying to keep it in the 2000.00 or less price range for new or used. I mainly
listen to cds through a Marantz 6005 cd player. Would an integrated be a smart
move. New to the site and saw so much for sale by members I just thought I would
ask. Any help or advice would be much appreciated. I am in Oklahoma so not much
chance of listening in any stores. Open to offers from members with equipment
for sale. Thanks.

Trying to decide between Hegek 70' 80 or 100. The 70 and 100 are earlier models. The h80 is the newest. These 3 fit my price range as does the Wyred 4 Sound. In Oklahoma no one carries either brand. Is there a big step up going to the Hegel H80 over the. H70 or H100 besides an updated DAC.
Exposure 3010 S2 or Roksan Kandy K2 integrateds should do the job you ask for and sounds fine with both brands of speakers you have.Roksan sounds bit smoother than Exposure.You cant get wrong.Maybe Hegel H200 second hand?
I like the Hegel but now I am thinking about a good solid state amp that has a lot of clean power to hook to the Primaluna preamp. Maybe that will give me more slaw with my speakers. Any recommendation of what would be good clean power to match with Dynaudio X32 and KEF ls50 speakers?
I use a Plinius 9100 with great results. I also listen to King Crimson. I also had a Marantz, a SA-8001 but now use a
OPPO 103 so I can listen to DVD-A & Hi Rez off a USB stick.
