What amp do use to drive your Klipsch Cornwall I,

What amp, tube or solid state are you using to drive our Klipsch Cornwall I's or II's. I hear allot about 6BQ5/EL34 amps and Horns. Of course the Cornwall need more power than the LaScalla or KHorns. I see allot of people use simple receivers on their Klipsch too. I want to stay with separates so power amp tube or solid state. What are you using with excellent results?

I have the Cornwall III's, I use a new McIntosh MA6600 for the pre-amp section only, driving an older pair of Luxman MB3045 tube monoblocks, 50 watt/ch. The sound is fantastic, although at times I wish I had a little more power.

I found the 200 watts/ch of the MAC was a little too much punch for the horns.

I've tried lots of amps, both solid state and tube (McIntosh, Jolida, Cary, Quicksilver, Audio Research, etc...) but always come back to a modded Scott 299 EL-84 tube integrated. Just something about that sound. Musical, non-fatiguing and warm. Have fun experimenting!
