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.

RA-1572 SINAD 76 (terrible)
Arcam SA20 SINAD 86 (mediocre)
Monolith 2x200watt cant find any measurements
McIntosh MC152 $5,500 (lol) SINAD 103 (excellent)
Except for the McIntosh any Hypex or Purifi amp SMOKES the amps you mention for price, output and performance with SINADs of 98-106 with 180Wx2@8ohm/340Wx2@4ohm

Sure readings help up to a certain point, but after that you have to decide what sounds good to your ears. Use these online rankings to shortlist amps, but dont use them to decide what is best for you.

Just grab a denon 3500-3700 or a Hypex 2 channel and enjoy. These speakers are amazing.
And I can absolutely afford it, I'm just not stupid with money.
The Genelacs seem to garner universal praise, and have earned a Class A rating in Stereophile (The Metas also garnered a Class A rating).
It seems like the Genalecs will come in for less money if you consider the matching amp you'll need purchase to power the Metas.

Any thoughts on how the Genalecs compare?
