Agree, you can go wrong with the Forte. I will do some research those 2 amps. Thanks for your recommendation, Charles
Integrated amp for Klipsch Forte
I have a Marantz 2275 with a pair of Klipsch Forte and it sounds great. I want to do away with the radio part of the receiver and go with an integrated amp with plenty of muscle for bass. Right now, I listen to the receiver with the loudness button on and this will give me the bass satisfaction that I enjoy with the Forte speakers.
What integrated amps that can you recommend that will have a loudness switch or have a decent bass control for around a $1000? I've had the Outlaw Audio 2250 and sold it because I was not satisfied with it for long term use. This integrated amp can be new or old tube, solid state or hybrid. Thanks for your inputs.

Check out the Yamaha integrated amps. They have the features that you are looking for. Tone controls and loudness control ! https://www.crutchfield.com/S-vYCCrPYOdcv/shopsearch/yamaha_amplifier.html?XVINQ=MI3&XVVER=446&a...= |
I suggest you look at the Yamaha A-S801 if you want a built in DAC, other wise the Yamaha A-S1000 or A-S2000. All have plenty to drive the Forte, are dead quiet and from my experience spot on neutral. The A-S801 has a very well designed variable loudness control while the 1000 and 2000 have their own uniquely designed tone controls. Offerings from NAD and Cambridge Audio also sound wonderful with the Fortes and will come in below your budget. Bill |
