Hi All,
After a bit of advice, I was looking at pairing these the atom with kef's, but my concern is that the Atom is 40w, therefore I am not too confident it will drive the LS50 to their full potential? I know that amplification is important for the LS50's so this might not be a good paring, maybe these need something like 8 ohm?
Haven't got a huge lounge so can anyone share thought's on if this is a bad choice? Or if perhaps they know of a better set of bookshelf speakers I can invest it to pair the atom with?
Thanks
Mark

When I was demoing the Atom and Nova one of the speakers I tried at my dealers was the LS50 - worked an absolute charm with both of them so I don't think you'll have any problems.
I also found Totem Sky, PMC Tewnty5.21 and Twenty5.22 to be excellent on the Atom. I did try some RusselK speakers which were good, but can't remember which ones they were - sorry. These are all rather more expensive than the KEF which certainly punch above their weight.

If you like the LS50s stick with them, the Atom will drive them with great aplomb.
Naim amps are designed with more current reserves than their 'headline' nominal power output into 8Ω resistors would suggest.
