Suggestions on Integrated Amp./Seperates to Run my Klipschorns


Hello ~
I was wondering if anybody had any firsthand experience with Klipschorns (1976) and any of these Integrated Amps/Amps? Any feedback and/or caution would really be appreciated. I am putting together a 2 Channel system and have my speakers, now looking for the rest.
        1. Hegel H390
        2. Mac MA352 
        3. Primaluna Evo 400 
        4. Levinson #585 
        5. Benchmark AHB2/DAC3. 
My primary listening would be through a Music Streamer (Bluesound 2i or Lumen D2) and Tidal. I listen to all types of music so I need something that can hang. 
My room is 16 x 25 with 9 foot ceilings.

If your Khorns are stock, I would recommend updating / replacing the crossovers. I also recommend, damping the mid horns and tweeters, using a product such as Dynamat. There are youtube videos discussing and showing how this is done. The metal bracket used to add the rear support of the mid horn, is also very resonant, when the speaker is playing. They have great potential, and most folks on the "Gon, have never heard, a modified and updated pair, which is, ime, necessary, to take them from good, to great, and, they are. I use solid state with my Lascalas, which is better for me, than tubes. A Class A amp would be my choice, and, you do not need a preamp ( the additional gain ), unless, you do want to add some color ( Dac to amp would need to match, as far as driving voltage is concerned ). I have been listening / dealing / tweaking, with Klipsch Heritage, for many years.
