Audio Rack Opinions
For that system with those options, doesn't really matter.  One thing you didn't mention is whether your "hardwood floor" is hardwood over concrete, or a suspended flooring system; ground floor or above?  This may have more impact on your decision... 
Please recommend speakers for 45 watt SET amps
Klipsch not what they used to be?  Guess that's right; they're better.  Forte IV's being run by 30wpc of class A.

Adding a sub. - can i start with one?

Kronos Sparta or TechDas Air Force III?
