Would highly recommend Class AB amps with these speakers to get the best out of them. Example: Rotel RB-1552 or RA-1572; Arcam SA20 or higher; Monolith 2x200watt amp or higher; McIntosh MC152 (have personal experience with this one and sounds amazing with the LS50s). Etc.
This deal is cracking though, have been very happy with my metas being drive by a 18 yr old receiver. To reach 90DB SPL at 1m distance, you only need 8W of power to drive these (just use any power calc). Don't let anyone try to sell you audiofool bs.
Would recommend getting a sub if its for a larger space.

If you get into "Sound Stage" and "Separation" and all those audiophile buzzwords, thats a different story and I'm not suggesting any of that because its purely subjective.
As for your 18yr old receiver, its probably signification better than the ones they sell these days with switch mode power supplies and class D amps and a weak Capacitor bank to handle current spikes for reactive loads. Cheers and enjoy!
Also consider this: If KEF thought ultra high end amps were needed to drive the speaker to satisfying levels, they would have used them in the active version of the LS50, but didn't.

Also, Purifi is far from entry-level, which was the manufacturer the poster you responded to mentioned. Maybe you didn't read?
Perhaps you can now show us a class A/B amp with 60K capacitance, and can drive a 2-ohm load at 450w for $750.

A/B class never been about efficiency and you can make scramble eggs using heat from class A radiator
