Picking a power amp

I have an audio refinement pre and amp you might be interested in as I replaced them with an Atoll IN200 evo integrated amp.  Both are quite impressive sounding.  I use them with ProAc Studio 148 towers, which were basically replaced by the ProAc DT8.  The Atoll IN200 evo is one of the few integrated amps that still offers a tape monitor loop feature to run room processing and / or an equalizer.  

The Adcom power amp sounds ok,but it seems to get thinner as the volume go’s up.

The bass seems weird,I don’t know if it’s the amp or speakers.Some songs I know have a lot of bass seems to be lacking in bass.

It’s the amp.

the last thing I want to do is drive into Chicago to shop speakers.

I think I will just get what I know I like and go from there.

I like the Klipsch chorus 2’s and Forte 4’s.

So I going to shop for a pair of them.

There’s nothing wrong going for what you know you like. In fact it saves a lot of time and eliminates a lot of uncertainty and hand-wringing.

I also want to keep looking at the Sonus Faber’s,I know some of them require a lot of amp.

With rare exceptions, all speakers like "a lot of amp", whether or not they actually require it.

For speakers I was thinking Klipsch for tube amp or Sonus Faber if SS

I’m not too familiar with either brand of speakers to be honest, but shouldn’t it be the other way around? Tube with SF and SS with Klipsch? And of course always pick speakers first, then find amps that make them happy. Good luck!

OP

Klipsh speakers are nice and you seem to be eyeing them. they sound great and sensitive so most amps will work with them, even if they are bit low powered TUBE.

as others have posted, listen to them first. but if you need to take leap of faith, then get the biggest one your budget will get you.  another set of speakers are Mofi 888 source point speaker. i heard then sourcepoint 8 and that really is good. Lastly, since you are sticking to Mx110 pre, then i also will suggest the ATC SCM 19A active or for a bit more scm40A.  i heard them and they are very very good dynamic speakers.

for Amps, i am a PassLab guy. Xa25 is my recommendation. or X150.8

for tubes I suggest the Line Magnetic amps that uses 845 tubes. they are a powerhouse of SET. (disclaimer, they run HOT).  all the amps above i own

another amp that may be interesting are Gan Amps. i have not heard one but they say that it has the sound of a tube like

Listen/ Audition as much as you can before you make a jump

A McIntosh amp would be a perfect match for your McIntosh tuner/preamp.
