Best Amp for Klipsch La Scala Speakers? Xmas Gift

I've had almost every one of the classic Klipsch speakers including La Scalas and a Cary SLI80 tube int. would work fine, or a McIntosh 7270 like I had for 18 years is a great SS amp with these kind of Klipsch's. I think there's a 7270 for 1640 on here or the bay. I ran a 7270 thru Klipsch Horns, Belles, La Scalas, Chorus's, Forte's, and my favorite, Quartets and you won't get much better other than going tubes for the price your looking for. Best of luck.

I think any tube amp or integrated tube amp would sound good. A person could drive themselves crazy trying to figure out what sounds the best.

Sorry, my bad. But I will advise the same recommendations.

The speaker is tube friendly and good efficiency but does benefit from some power.

If you can find a use Atma-Sphere S-30 that might be within the budget. But any tube amp in good shape will be a player on this speaker. I would avoid transistors unless you like shrill- the horns in that speaker don't play well with transistors.
