Best amplifier for klipsch heresy 3 speakers.

Hi Curiousgeorge

Wolf is awesome. His posts always make me crack up. You should see some of his posts on tube rolling and record cleaning. Great stuff.

In all seriousness. I'm curious as to how your wife's strenuous work out routines are one of the reasons for steering you away from tube amps. Are you concerned about vibrations from those kinds of workouts? I looked them up and both workouts really keep a person moving. Is it the heat from the tube amps?

Anyway. If I had the Klipsch Heresy 3 speakers you have I would go the tube route. Either a Jolida 502P or a rebuilt Dynaco ST-70. The Klipsch owners in my family have used tube amps and their rooms are close to the size of yours. If I had to go SS I would go with a McCormack DNA .5 Deluxe. I've owned this amp and I found it better than the DNA-1. Open and Airy without any edginess in the highs. In my system I sometimes had issues with the highs when I had a DNA-1 stock or Deluxe.

Best of luck with your search.

Vacyuum tube solid state I call them.

I had some great modded Heresy II's a few years back and they sounded great with both a McIntosh MC240 and MC275. I'm not sure the 275 was any better.

Great synergy.

I have some Klipsch Quartets that I run with a 1.75 wpc Grommes PHI 26 tube amp

sounds great plenty loud
