New speakers and guidance
I’m sure your choice will be great, remember, it’s not the,speakers per say, it’s our ears which need getting accustomed to a new pair of speakers. Give them 250-300 hours of break,in before accessing their sound. As said 50x- my,speakers took me ...

Suggestions on Integrated Amp./Seperates to Run my Klipschorns
Klipschorns are the only speaker, I can recommend an amp of 150W or less to drive. So bright, so searing to my ears. Almost painful. Find a warm amp and preamp to tone down that horn tweeter.she is so brutal to me. I heard on a pair of Adcom mono ... 
Unbelievable
Maybe the forgot the “comma” after the word  “finish”

Upgrade to Maggi 3.7i or Tekton Moab?
Problem I found:  new speakers need your ears to get used to them.   Plus the break in time. Planers need any break in ?only heard Maggie’s few times at stereo shops, always very impressed by their open enveloping sound. Never could afford the goo... 
Upgrade to Maggi 3.7i or Tekton Moab?
the Svs don’t give you the impact you need?add a second?   Wow, that’s an amazing sub! Try the,moabs, their friggin huge, and should quash your ears need for impact!  Then again, those Maggie’s are killer too.hard decision.  Good luck

Please keep us up to date as to your choice, and a review on those amazing speakers! No limit on power. The more the better. Don’t believe the 100W is enough dribble. The more effortless an amp,can drive speakers, the better it sounds. My speakers... 
Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000
What a question. You already have 300W @8 Ohm.which would be great w those speakers. As you will need the headroom for crescendos and power chords, song ending power chords, etc !i would keep the minimum of 300WPC rms, for any speaker.  The Mcinto...
