Best amplifier for klipsch heresy 3 speakers.


I am looking for suggestions on a power amp or integrated for the klipsch heresy 3 speakers.i would prefer a solid state amp over tubes.I need an amplifier on the warmer side,also considering a pro amp like a crown or qsc but have no experience with pro amps.My room is a 12x12 with wood floors.MY Source is a an oppo bdp 83 dvd/cd player.my music taste is mostly rock.Im looking for an amplifier with good power but tame on the highs.

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
I would try First Watt too...your Klipsches are sensitive enough so they won't clip on you.

Curiousgeorge, hi I had a pair of these, great speaker, very unlike your typical Klipsch sound, more audiophile quality rather than quantity.

I would look at high biased class A solid state amps power or intergrated. Like Pass, Krell, amps that run nice and toasty.
This will ensure you get that class A high frequency smoothness coming from the Klipsch's tweeters and mids, yet still have the control over the bass with good solid state amp damping factor and dynamic punch.

Cheers George
I kid you not, the best synergy between my original Klipsch Heresies and amp, was to use a McIntosh amp. This is not my opinion alone. The combination has been extoled for decades and my experience was no different. If you insist on using a tube amp (most of my gear is tube) I would opt for an older Conrad Johnson unit most importantly the use of a CJ tubed Preamp, if and only if you can't get a McIntosh amp. I know I have owned Klipsch Heresy speakers for nearly 40 years. Not all of those years were happy ones. Nonetheless I went on to buy LaScalas amongst many other non Klipsch speakers. Even now I still own both pairs of my Klipsch speakers after forced downsizing.
Really try a McIntosh amp with you Klipsch, even an old inexpensive one (relatively) will work, my 2505 did.
