I had mine connected to a "Costco special" Onkyo TX-NR6050, and they were fine.

Then I stuck an Aiyima T9-Pro tube amp in between that receiver and speakers, and it's more finer.

You'll probably be ok with almost anything.

Start with the Crown XLS1002 for the sheer power.

And buy this AB switch [amazon.com]. Then do your own comparison in real time. That's the only way to compare amps.

Don't listen to the garbage people parrot here they see on youtube who own nothing. Do your own testing with your own amps and speakers. Room and placement are 100x more important. Case in point ---At my desk, in my room--- If I move my chair back 6ft there's a huge change in bass. It's literally and exercise in physics. I own the Metas and 4 different amps/integrated. I also own that switch. You have to do your own AB'ing. It's that simple.

White is on sale for $1169… I should have waited to buy these, paid full price last February. Definitely worth it around $1000

you need a budget as the price varies widely between a multi channel AVR, integrated amp or separates.

The Sprout plus LS50's are all 99% of people are going to really want out of a system imho.

I prefer the Emotiva B1+ for around $200+ than these.

Sexy looking speakers.

Would a Denon x1500h be sufficient?

How do these compare to the Q150?
I got those and am super happy. At about 8x what I paid for those, are these that much better?

As Crown amp is crazy excessive power for LS50's. I'd call it an "unwise" combo. Someone isn't cautious for even just one song and it could blow the Kefs.

No, of course not. These are better, more refined, and look nicer, but diminishing returns as you move up. It's a small, though noticeable upgrade.
