Pure Class A SS vs Tube Amp

ihcho,,

Looking at the type of amplifiers you’ve tried with your Klipsch I agree there is not much to distinguish one from another. Given the level of amplifiers recommended on this thread I do believe they would raise the sound quality level of the Klipsch. This speaker is capable of reflecting better amplification.

With all due respect these ’much better’ quality amplifiers would get more out of those speakers than you may realize/appreciate. Just my humble opinion.

lordrootman,

Given your intention to use the TV,  a transistor amplifier may suit you better. I say this based on probable long hours of use (daily) not due to any concern regarding tube amp dynamic capabilities.

From all that I’ve read/heard about Klipsch speakers they seem to fulfill their sonic potential best with tube amplifiers. A high quality push pull or single ended (SET) would work well. Line Magnetic mentioned above is a very good option particularly their 845 SET choices. You have many fine options available to you with that speaker.
