I have ls50's too. At first I used them them with a Rega Elicit but had to sell for financial reasons. I now use them with a Wyred for sound Dac-2 and MK II amp. I know it's not an integrated amp but wanted to throw in my experience with this company. I couldn't be happier with Wyred for Sound. You will find a TON of reviews on the Wyred for Sound MINT that has enough watts for you. You can find one used in the price range your seeking. Look into that and let us know what you think.
Help selecting integrated amp for ls50
Hey everyone,
its been a long time since I e posted here but it's time to upgrade my system and I need suggestions.
Im thinking heavily of picking up the ls50s (although I've selected these without auditioning them since no shop here has demos). I needed something small and in a white color (and yes, these factors were influenced by decor and my wife). So if I do choose the ls50s I would also need a integrated amplifier. I've read tons about the necessity of careful matching of room, amp and placement so I thought I'd better ask here before I pull the trigger.
The room ithe system will be in is concrete and is about 15'x23'. It's a combined kitchen and living room no separation. There is carpeting on the living room which is 15'x13'. The speakers will be on a sliding shelf from a wall unit/ cabinet system. The shelf will allow the speaker to stick out of the cabinet.
Budget is ideally <$1,000 for the amp but I'll likely get a used one to maximize the buck. Any help would be really appreciated!
