Hey Everyone,
I just came across a rough pair of AR LST-2 which I have been longing for a long time :)
While my tech restores them I am looking into matching them with a suitable integrated or power amp.
Now I have been reading here and there that AR speakers and particular the LST will require a 150 RMS per 2 channel power horse to drive them. I don't own such a beast.

So my question is will my Marantz 140 (70 RMS) power amp (linked to Marantz 3300 pre) be a good match to drive the mighty LST2?

Other amps I own (Yamaha CA-810 and Kenwood KA-7002) are powerful but less in terms of RMS per channel. I have no plans to get more amps if what I have would work. Any help would be highly appreciated guys. Thanks again.

More power would be preferable but depending on size of your room and how loud you plan to listen you should be able to get by with the 140 until something bigger comes along.
