W4S STI500 or MF A5.5 for Kef R500?

I have a pair of Kef R500's incoming. I am deciding between a W4S STI500 or MF A5.5 integrated amp to power them.

Opinions?

Any reason you want a 250w into 8 ohms amp for this speaker? I'd be thinking more towards an integrated from Naim, Exposure, Croft, etc. For the record, I have not heard the R500, just offering something to consider.
