Best amp/pre or Int under 3G's for Klipsch Forte's

Thanks guys, a big help as always

These are very versatile speakers, and will be a great match with almost anything as long as you do not overload the horns. Like most Klipsch Heritage speakers, Fortes are a great match with low-powered tube amps. The exact match will depend on your room, your musical tastes and whether you are mainly an analog or digital guy.

I've heard them sound sweet with smaller Belles amps.

May I suggest NAD gear. The newer stuff is warmer than your Adcom but closer to neutral. I have used 200w/ch B&K amps, vintage 150w/ch 80's Denon seperates and 80w/ch integrated, and 125w/ch NAD seperates, 125w/ch Marantz monoblocks with my Klipsch Fortes, all neutral/warm with great success.

Here is a great affordable combination:

You sure don't have to spend $3000.00 for the Fortes to really sing.

Look at the Jolida SET (8 wpc) for under $1,000
