Amps for Klipschorn speakers

As a former owner of the Khorns for some 23 years, I can say that I have listened to them with several amps. Those who say SS is not a good choice are spot on. IMO, vintage type low wattage tube amps are the way to go. A few amps I owned that sounded fabulous with these speakers were;

Baldwin -converted organ amp by Will Vincent. 25 wpc
Custom made OTL 6wpc (made in Italy by Mario Patrizio-unbelievable bass!)
Art Audio PX25 6wpc (midrange magic)

A few that I didn't care for were;

Audio Research Classic 60 (too bright and fatiguing)
Cary 808 Rocket 88 (no bass or dynamics-boring)
Cary CAD-300se (as above)

A couple that I never heard, but read from others that sound good with the Khorns;

McIntosh MC225 or MC240
Quicksilver Horn Monos

My opinions are based on listening to mostly classic rock music.

Lastly, you might want to go over to the Klipsch forums where you will read about anything you'll ever want to know.

If you want to hear what your Klipschorn's are really capable of then put a low powered SET amp on them like a 2A3 or 45 amp and you will be amazed. There's nothing like it. You don't need to spend $3-5K on each piece, you can spend quite a lot less and still have incredible sound. With the efficiency of the K-horns, if you haven't heard SET's on them, you are in for a real treat....

Good information, guys. So far, all of the SS amps I have tried on the Khorns have been too bright. I brought over a friends Marantz 8b today but it only worked on one channel and one tube started glowing so I turned it off so I didn't really get to hear it. I am going to have a look at the small amps as you guys have suggested.

Markpao and Lou settriode,
Good advice!
