Good catch Ralph.
I was not even looking at the speaker interface and simply got lost answering the Joule/Aragon compatibilty question - sorry foster.
If I were driving Klipsch speakers with a sensitivity of 101 db, I would look hard at a tubed amplifier such as an S-30 or the M-60 monos (both made by a pretty good company) or the First Watt amps (great recommendation) if SS were the goal. The nice thing about high efficiency speakers is that the power then becomes relatively cheap.
I have long driven fairly inefficient speakers so have ended up with large SS amps of which the Aragon was a stop along the way. If money were not the object, and I didn't need a bunch of power but wanted a SS amp, I would like to try the Class D SPEC amplifiers....but I digress.
Will the Joule/Aragon combo work, yes, will it sound best with the Klipsch speakers, probably not for the reasons Ralph states, but it will sound good with other less efficient speakers.
