Marantz Pearl Lite for LS50, or..

Hi everybody,

I just bought the KEF LS50, and currently in the looking for an amp.
My room is not very big, roughly 15m2, and I'm initially looking at Roksan Kandy K2, but currently there is one seller in my local forum is selling his few months old Marantz Pearl Lite, so I've been thinking about it.

Does anyone know whether this pairing will work in my room?

Also, as I'm totally new in this thing, will a pure Class A tube amp with 18 Watt sufficient for my room?

Any other recommendation is also appreciated.

Before I forget, my budget is roughly at $1500, and I listen to most type of music, especially progressive rock, jazz, metal, bossanova, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Paraneer,

Thank you for the reply, really appreciate it. I'm biased towards Pearl Lite now especially because the price is quite good and the warranty is still valid for nearly two years.

And for the Class A question, I did initially considering it but after reading much about tube amp, I think I'll just pass it for now, maybe later in the future with different speaker. Thanks too for pointing out about the less of ideal matching between my inefficient speaker and tube amp.

May I know what speaker are you using now? :)

Hi Joeinid,

I'll look into the Job 225 but now I'm quite biased to Pearl Lite. :)

Thanks anyway.

Hi everybody,

Just bought the Pearl Lite and after pairing it with my LS50, I am very much LOVING it!!
I've demoed the LS50 for quite some time with different amp at hifi shop, but I must say after pairing it with the Pearl, it seems like the speaker performance is better.

Thanks to everyone that helps me on deciding to buy the Pearl, I'm totally satisfied with my decision.

Cheers!

Hi d,

I've read that even before I'm buying the Pearl Lite, and just to let you know that the review is one of the driving factor for me to buy the Pearl Lite.. :)

Thanks and best regards.
