Klipsch Heritage speakers are a match made in heaven with SET amps in my opinion. I own 2 pair of Cornwalls. Over at the Klipsch Forum, Heritage owners love their tubes. Though you sometimes can have people fueding like the Hatfields & McCoys over which is better with Klipsch Heritage speakers-SET amps or Push Pull tube amps. I have never owned a push pull tube amp, only SET amps. Klipsch Heritage speakers sound very good to my ears and have dynamics up the ying yang. I have also run the Cornwalls with a solid state Mcintosh MC 7150 autoformer amp, Mcintosh C 38
preamp. And a Llano Phoenix CAS 300/VA2 mosfet/
tube(6SN7,6SL7,12SN7-voltage section) hybrid amp,
Mcintosh C 38 preamp & Dehavilland Verve preamp. Good sonic results to my ears with the Mcintosh
& Llano amps & Cornwalls-had headroom up the wazoo. The Cornwalls are 98.5 db efficient with one watt of input power. The Klipschorn, Lascala & Belle are 104 db efficient wth one watt of
input power. The woofers are horn loaded on these
three Heritage speakers. The ported woofer on the Cornwall drops the efficiency to 98.5 db.
Factory assembled Welborne Labs 2A3 Moondogs-3.5 watts x 2 with the ultimate parts upgrade-Jensen PIO caps, factory assembled Welborne Labs Reveille 6SN7 tube preamp with a pair of 1977 Klipsch Cornwalls with new upgraded Type B crossovers using Auricaps built by DeanG of the Klipsch Forum. The Auricaps sound much better to my ears than the PIO motor run capacitors that Klipsch used.
Dehavilland Aries 845 amps-25 watts x 2, Dehavilland Verve 6SN7 tube preamp with a pair of
1983 Klipsch Cornwalls. I would own a pair of Klipschorns if I had the proper corners. Don't have room for false corners that can be used with Klipschorns if you don't have the prerequisite proper corners.
