klipsch horns

I have a pair of klipsch corner horns and heard they sound best with tube amps, I was wondering what amp sounded best and is reasonably priced?

SET amps can make a bit of noise that highly sensitive speakers such as Klipsch can amplify easily. Push/pull amps, correctly implemented, do not have nearly the noise issues of SET amps. I think I read somewhere that a little 5 watt push/pull amp is what Paul Klipsch designed the horns to work with but I would not put that in the bank. This is where a very high quality low powered amp (think Wavelength...) comes into play. More than 10 or 20 watts is simply overkill.

They seem to be all the rave over at the Klipsch Forum. I am very interested in them myself. I am planning to buy a pair.
