Like I said before, my main thought for most* kitchens is that it's such a noisy environment you don't need anything amazing and that systems designed to "create" a nice sound, rather than a perfectly paired up speaker/amp combo would be better.
Don't know if you read this guy's review of a mini-amp, but I saved it for future food for thought when we redo our kitchen/get an extension way down the line:
*obvs if it's a multipurpose room ymmv
Roughly worked out... and do have a couple of speaker points above cabinets so that sort of thing could work.
