The EAD is a good choice. Since you are using them 50% for music, I would recommend tubes for those 2 channels. You don't need much power (but you already know that). A nice SET, or even a low wattage push-pull would sound great. Then get a 3 channel solid state to run the other channels for HT. K-horns are not the best at imaging or soundstage. They also lack deep bass, but above 30 Hz, they have more than enough. They make up for it in fullness, dynamics, and efficiency. They can recreate a full orchestra remarkably well. I've owned several pairs of older Klipsch models and really enjoyed all of them.
Honest opinion's of the Mighty KLIPSCHORNS????
I finally purchased a pair of 1981 Klipschorn speakers. I highly considered them for many many years. Although I will not be setting them up until my room is complete, I just wanted some honest opinion's of people that actually own them or have owned them? I find most owners use tube equipment on them. However I have never owned any tube gear. I will be using the system for 50% home theater and 50% music and would also like advise on a 5 channel solid state amp that may work well with the K-HORNS? I will be using an EAD Ovation pre-amp. Any and all feedback both positive and negative is greatly appreciated.
Thanx
Eddie
