Which amp for kef 104/2?

[philv]

Organic sounding.
I like valors but not the hastle.

With remote.

Used up to around 800.

Any reccomendations?

I was thinking quad 909 cdp2, but with the quad-link apparently the sound quality is compromised.

Thanks

I've heard the Quad Vena II recently and that was very good.
Within your budget new ....

Then don't use the Quad Link.

By a mile, the best I heard with the 104.2 was the Lentek. God knows why but it is a sublime combination. It is a shame that you need remote control.

That loses the remote on/off.

The most fun I had with a pair of 104/2s was with a Nait 3. It got my feet tapping more than I thought the speakers could ever do. Might not be the sound you're looking for though.

They were nice and natural/organic sounding with an Opera Consonance push pull EL34 amp.

Quad 306 or 606 (preferably MK 2)- - Superb!

If you need remote try Quad 66.

I used my old pair with a selection of amps, the 10wpc Puresound A10 (EL84 PP Valve Amp), the Restek Challenger and Sony TA-F770ES.
They are quite sensitive and a flat 4-Ohm impedance load so as long as your amp is happy with 4-Ohms it should be fine.

I found the big Sony TA-F770ES to be the best match, and super flexible with inputs, decent MM/MC input etc.
I currently have a Bryston B60R which I suspect would be an great match too!
