Mcintosh MAC7200 or Hegel H390 for a new pair of Kef R7 META

I'm about to pull the trigger on a new pair of Kef R7 Metas. Which amp would be a better match? I love the look of the 7200, but does it have enough power for these speakers?

The mac with the tuner and DAC would be a nice optioned receiver and the DAC2 optional board is definitely something to consider its quite good for the money. Both are excellent amps but i think you get more for the money from the MAC, not to mention the resale value will always be higher on the Mac down the road.

Get the McIntosh, it’s 200wpc into 2, 4 and 8 ohms.  Hi Fi+ gushed over it.

Hell yes! and then some, McIntosh rates all their amps conservetivly so it puts out a little more then stated as well :-) And the KEFs are rated at 88db sensitivity! so it will be very nice indeed.
