Hi
Background - I love listening to pure music (classical vocal, strings, flute, drums) and has no desire to set up a home theatre or or movie viewing experience. My budget is around 1,00,000 INR (1500 USD)
I am planning to set up a 2 channel system and almost decided on KEF R300 speakers. However, I am still torn between KEF Q900, but R300 sounded more pure and fits my room space (10 X 15 ft). ProFx are ready to offer KEF R300 at 1,09,000 Indian rupees.
I already have Sony STR-K850P which is the receiver that came in HTIB.
I am attaching specifications sheet for reference.
The audio power specification says -
"With 8 ohms load, both channel driven from 40 20,000 Hz; Rated 110 W per channel minimum RMS power, with no more than 0.7% total harmonic distortion from 250 milliwatts to rated output."
Now, I have some questions -
Thanks in advance

Now, I have some questions -
- Is my Sony receiver (STR-K850P) a stupid idea to drive premium speakers like KEF300? Is yes, how bad will it be?
- I am still torn between a premium bookshelf (R300) vs tower (Q900). Any recommendations?
- Pros recommend pre-amp, amp separates, instead of AV receiver. But that justify the value for money when you compare with a receiver?
- Which receiver will you suggest to go with KEF R300?
- Is 1,09,000 INR (1626 USD) a good price for KEF R300?
- Do you recommend any other speaker audition that I should do before making a decision.
Thanks in advance
