What type of Amp for Ohm Walsh F-5015s?
Those two recommemded amps are probably available from reputable online dealers with a good return policy if needed.  Checkout Crutchfield, Audio Advisor etc. Maybe others can suggest one.

Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following

Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following
Question for Harbeth experts out there:Are the two way models as good with vocal clarity as the 3-way models? I heard 40.2 over the weekend with some very elaborate Conrad Johnson amplification driving them. Vocal clarity and detail ( Donna Godcha...

Abbey Road 50th Anniversary
Bass was very good with this version much like the others I have heard over the years. 
Need Perfect Speakers for Acoustically Hostile Placement
If there is room up there keep the speakers small and maybe put them on a small pair of Isoacoustics stands. That should help bring out the best. 
Need Perfect Speakers for Acoustically Hostile Placement
Dep yes and I still have a pair running out on my deck for many years that sound better than ever off a good modern Class D amp (Bel Canto ref10000m fed from ARC sp16 tube preamp).  
Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER?
The latest affordable Klipsch stand mount monitors have been getting a lot of consistent praise. Can’t be that bad.....My Klipsch sub works great.   
Whats playing on your system today?
I’ve been streaming random play from a friend’s remote Plex music server.  Also checked out the new Abbey Road there.  
Unintended Consequences? Digital Streaming
