Not familiar with that one ( I'm a USA boy ) but generally Naim boxes like to be used from  a single strip plugged into a single outlet. Strip should have high quality  sockets, wired through without any filter and preferably without an on/off switch. So Wiremold variety would be a good start. I use an Audience ADP6 box that was designed with Naim in mind and it works very well. In the UK, the Grahams Hydra has a good reputation. Avoid any strip with filters/conditioners/spike protection. The simpler it is..the better.

Re the amp...more is usually better in my experience. I have not heard the 606 but am very familiar with Kudos. The isobaric design will benefit from the extra grunt of the 300 imo.

ATB,

Have a 300DR in my system rest is LP12,282,HCDR, 300dr

i currently have B&W 805N, but looking at either T505 or 606 if room size no issue 606 but the 505 are not a comprise 

for me Kuods are at the top of their game, and either would work well, 

on plug I have the 300 PSU on power line

Can't comment on the first part of your question as I ran my 300DR via a dedicated spur - and it loved it. I can say though that Titan 606's are a perfect match and agree with Antony that Kudos are at the top of their game with the full range of Titan speakers.

The Kudos Titan 606s are wonderful speakers but you do need to try them at home.  For all their good qualities they may not suit your room. But if they don’t then the 505s might be a great alternative

and the 300 would still be a good match
