After my third pair of Klipsch speakers…now Heresy 4’s… I can’t think any speaker sounds as good. Efficiency is the major player. 96 db sensitivity. Wow! I think they sound great…Spring-Summer solid state ( Marantz 2226 b), and my (Cary Rocket 88 ROM-CAD) tube amp Fall-Winter… (keeping the Mancave cooler and warmer)!
I find adequacy in the Node, (streamer), and Integra CD Player. With streamers, ask yourself: can you really hear the difference?
But with Klipsch…you WILL hear a difference. People can’t believe horny midrange works, but it does. Best to keep your amp low powered( 20-40 WPC), and play low volumes to really HEAR the Klipsch difference…cause they can be loud if you need to be ANYTIME!
Save money on Amp power, get decent cables that run a medium price range, and insulate your cables picking up PVC rubber insulation at Home Depot.
