Break- In Reality and the Choice of Amp

Hi. 
Upon purchasing a pair of  new Klipsch Forte IV, and upon reading/trusting some of Jim Smith’s GET BETTER SOUND, I guess it’s time to believe…
 

Which choice of my (3) amps to introduce the first (100) hours of break-in to: 

• Cary Tube Rocket 88 (40WPC)

•Marantz 2226B (26WPC)

• Nakamichi PA-5A ll  (150 WPC)

   The Fortes are 99db sensitive. Should I mix it up on Amps? Go according to the seasons (the Marantz is the only cool playing SS amplifier…. I will have to now sell my Forte originals and maybe think about selling one of the amps if there is interest).

You should consider a low output SET amp for those, 300b's, 2A3's sound quite nice on Klipsch heritage line.

Since well  chosen audio components get better sounding with increasing price and equipment over twenty years generally suffers reduced sound quality… and newer equipment tends to sound better because of advances in materials and design. I put all my money in a single component. That has always worked for me.
