Matching an amp with the klipsch forte 3 speakers

I have a pair of brand new Klipsch forte 3 speakers and I am happy with them. I listen to CDs on my Denon DVD 1940CI (This will be upgraded also, but not now).

I want to replace / upgrade my integrated amp ( Music hall a15.2).
My question is, would the Rogue Sphinx x3 be a good match with these speakers.? I'm looking for a tube front end and IC drive to match up nicely with the speakers.
My budget is around $ 2000.
Music = I like NRBQ (12 bar blues ), Zappa (Inca roads).
The listening room is 16 x 16 feet with 10 foot ceiling.

I'm driving my Forte IVs with their Mid Mono amps and they are fantastic. I also have Mike's Quicksilver Headphone Amp. I bet their Intergrated Amp sounds great with Fortes, its 20 watts of EL84 power. Lots of great tubes for that readily available and cheap compared to other power tubes. Can't go wrong with QS , huge bang for the $$$

Lots of power and more base with the Fortes. I now have about $ 6500 into the system and I'm letting the good times roll. Amazon is sending CDs with music I had in the past ( on vinyl that I scratched during parties in the 70s). I have some regrets about that now, not many, I like to party hard.
