Should sound nice, but I will say you're buying 225wpc more power than you need with Klipsch speakers. If you can exchange the int250 for one of the lower powered ones. Specifically one of the Class A amps, as class A amps IMO sound better with Klipsch speakers and you don't need the power with close to 100db and 8ohm load. You may even find you can do separates at lower power than a big integrated. no point buying power if you don't need it unless your thinking other less efficient speakers down the road.
Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts?
Long story but I ended up buying a system without auditioning a single component and haven’t set it up, what are your thoughts? Technic SL 1210 GR, nagaoka mp-500, eversolo dmp-a6, pass labs xp 17, pass labs int-250, klipsch forte iv, Cardas clear Cygnus speaker cable, Cardas clear interconnects, Cardas clear Cygnus phono cable. I know I don’t need the int-250 for the klipsch but got a great deal.

Good gear you picked, I am Ex-Klipsch Forte IV owner and you will be just fine with the Integrated amp. They work with a lot of different gear for SET amps to solid state amps. I found they liked the extra power as it will tighten up the bass vs a n lower powered SET amp. When I switched from 2a3 to 30w push pull tube amp the sound tightened up and I liked the extra headroom from the additional power. If for some reason you don’t like the Klipsch having a higher powered amp allows for more flexibility in speaker selection. I only sold mine as I am a Quad ESL57 junkie and decided to have mine upgraded with new heavier cabinets after the upgrades were done from Kent at Electrostatic Solutions. I will miss the Forte IV’s as they did so much right… |
@jshira *G* H.o. on my part, but it doesn't seem like you selected by picking random names out of a hat... ;) While waiting for the R.E. to clear, moving magic to occur (and the fairy dust that comes with that...), always a feat that's varied in treat... ...I'd stealth a minimum array in the 1st room that empties....yeah, not a fair test, but something to make 'moving muzic' and a place to gather the grit to carry on anon..(kiddy-proofed as poss, of course...).... Always helped our efforts; last out, 1st in....just a temp(ting) suggestion...;) ...and happy listening in the new local... 👍😃 |
