Power for Klipschorns

I need some advise please!  I have a old pair of Klipschorns that I have refurbished with a LaScala for a center channel and a Klipsch sub.  I would like to use them for both stereo and home theater.  Can't figure how or what to use amp wise?  Still love to play my vinyl!  Any thoughts, suggestions?  Really don't have that much to spend so looking for something that gives me the most bang for my buck, even if is used, in order to get the best out of these speakers.  Really looking for something under $1500 if that is possible, thanks in advance!

i used the Khorns with KG5.5 centers and rear with a Klipsch sub for years. I used the Marantz SR9600 using this set up. The Klipsch speakers don't require a lot of power so a modern Marantz avr might fill your needs

what would be cool is if you bought my Mac c-28 preamp this old Mac has a left, right ,and a center channel output. I use it right now with my K horns. Selling cheap!

there's always a couple of ways to run the sub I think a lot of people run it from the L. and R. channels threw the sub and then to the speakers. Check out the sub instructions. six hundred for the pre.

What is your Vinyl rig? If you go the route of a AVR, I believe few have phono stages. I don't see that as a problem as there are many quality budget ones available. Need one that best matches up with your cartridge. I believe Klipsch sound best with electronics leaning toward the warm laid back sound. I know the Marantz 2 channel amps ( at least those in your budget) tend that way, you might take a listen to their AVRs.
