Looking for a receiver for Kef Q concerto

[anajjar]

Hello!!
I went to the Kef store the other day and fell in love with the new Q Concerto Meta speakers, so I've decided to get them! Any thoughts? Are there better alternatives at the same or lower price range?
I am also looking for recommendations for a reciever to drive the q concertos.
The reason why Im looking at hifi receivers rather than a hifi amp is wanting to expand my setup later on with a couple surround speakers and a subwoofer.
I was wondering if Denon AVRX2800HK could be a good option for my proposed setup?
Happy to hear about better alternatives!

Many thanks in advance

A Denon '2800' will work. If you get one, consider using the $19.99 'Audyssey MultEQ Editor' app - available at Google Play and Apple app stores - to offer greater control over room correction in your listening space. Amir reviewed the app and judged it to offer perfomance similar to Dirac Live:

Audyssey Room EQ Review

This is a review and detailed measurements of the Audyssey Room Equalization. Audyssey is standard technology in a number of Audio/Video Receivers such as the Denon AVR-X3600H I recently reviewed. The standard version in the AVR is mostly all or nothing so I downloaded the Marantz/Denon...

Excellent choice! The Kef Concertos were reviewed by Erin and measure really well. Getting an avr is imo actually the best choice you could make as amp because of subwoofer integration. According to this site Denon usually measure well, so there you go.

If it's not out of your budget, I'd suggest going with at least the Denon X3800H, as it includes the top-tier Audyssey room correction. Which you want. You also have the option to purchase a Dirac license if you prefer.
