I would make sure you've got a decent source but the tube amp should make them sound nice. The Klipsch can defintely be harsh with solid state. Also I don't know about the IIIs but the I's and II's can really soak up the power despite their high sensitivity. I think the MCs will handle them ok but I wouldn't expect to rock the house. I had a pair of Heresy's in the 80's and the could completely swallow a 160 watt SS amp.
Help me with Klipsch Heresy III
I'm thinking about getting Heresy III for my McIntosh 2200/275 combo (my Spendors 2/3 don't rock as hard as I want them) but I don't know which stands do I need? I sure as hell don't want to leave them on the floor - and given their size I guess I need some heavy 45-50 cm stands - which ones?
P.S. Do you think it's a good match with my Macs? And what do you think about them overall? Some say they have plenty of slam but poor mids, others warn that the highs are brutal. I don't hear it at the store but you know...
