McIntosh & Klipsck RF-7's

Hi.....

I've been longing for a McIntosh/Klipsch system for years but my only exposure to this combination was over 20 years ago when my brother had some Klipschorns and a Mac tube amp as as I remember the sound was incredible.

I've just bought the first piece of the new system....a pair of Klipsch RF-7's and now I'm on the hunt for a good suitable amp. I originally thought of a McIntosh MA2275 tube integrated amp but have been told that it doesn't have enough power for these speakers and that I need at least 200 watts per channel.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this or have experience with the McIntosh/RF-7 combination?

Thanks for your comments.

Regards,

Jack

McIntosh and Klipsch is the way to go. Any McIntosh amp or integrated will work well. At 102db sensitivity the 75 watts of the MA2275 will be plenty. I'm using a MC352 with Khorns and my meters barely move.
