Best amplifier for klipsch heresy 3 speakers.

Many nice choices for speakers that efficient and easy to drive. I'd recommend looking at the FirstWatt line of amps designed by Nelson Pass. I have heard F1-F5 (not all of which will work with your Heresys). For what you are looking for, the F3 might be ideal. The M2, J2 and recently released SIT amps also get a lot of praise. From reviews and your stated preferences, the M2 would be the first place I'd look among those amps in the FirstWatt line. I miss having speakers efficient enough for those amps...

Pete and Repeat were on a fence and Pete fell off, who's left ?

Thanks for your responses,I am also wondering about the nad m3 and the rotel 1080 or 1090 my budget is around $1500.00

I'd avoid pro amps...I use 'em for PA but they often have noisy fans (QSC) and non standard speaker posts...lots of bang for the buck but not as sweet as good modern hifi amps. The reviews of the new Cambridge integrateds are universally enthusiastic and they build that stuff really well, and the new NAD amps seem like a bargain. There are a lot of amazing integrateds out there these days...a friend has a Vincent that is a tank and sounds great.

The NAD M3 is an excellent choice. More than enough power with great control and punch.
