Tube Amp for Klipsch Forte IV's? Black Ice F-22 or Willsenton R8 with upgraded tubes?


I can get the Black Ice for around 2700.00 CAD and the Willsenton for 2000.00 CAD

The Willsenton would include three upgraded Psvane pre amp tubes (the other two are stock) and four upgraded powertubes, Psvane PH's

F22 shows 50w per channel, Wilsenton 40w ultra liner and 25w triode

I may also pair the amp with a Sonus Faber Lumina V also which is 50w recommended min

thanks in advance for any input

The Fortes sound stunning and full range dynamic driven by the Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II.  

The version III is available for $3000 US.  Not sure how much it costs in Canada but a superior product to either of the mentioned amps.  

If the III is over budget look for a used II, pretty much bullet proof and with excellent Rogue Audio customer service.  

An all time excellent speaker and amplifier combination.
