Amp matching for Klipsch Forte III

I'm considering a pair of Klipsch Forte III, and I was wondering what amplifiers folks are using with them. I would be using a Pass Labs XA-25. I'm currently running the XA-25 with Zu Audio Soul Supremes. I listen to mostly 50s, 60s, 70s rock (rockabilly, 60's garage/psych, punk, power pop), funk, soul, instrumental and vocal jazz (esp. female vocal), classic and alt country. Thanks for your comments.

When I had Forte IIIs I was using a Line Magnetic 518i and this was a very good match. 18 watts lit those speakers right up.

Try getting them spread as far apart as practical. Then fire each speaker at your opposite shoulder. This should have the axis crossing very slightly in front of your listening position. This worked for me when I had the Forte IIIs and works very well now with the Cornwall IV.
