i recently purchased a 1966 fisher 500c tube receiver. i first tried it with my nht 2.5i and was not impressed. at 87db the nht seemed to need more power than the 37watts of the fisher. i then purchased a modest pair of klipsch bookshelfs (KSB2.1) rated 93db. what a difference. this old fisher makes this small klipschs shine. i would venture to say that many of the larger and more efficient klipsch's would sound great. the tuner section is beautiful - warm and of course very tube-like. i am not one bit disapointed but make sure you use efficient type (horn?) speakers> good luck n.l.
