How did you feel when the Krell worked ? I do not feel tubes are a match with your speakers.

You either truly love your speakers, or you don’t. Loving your speakers says you are happy with the amplification driving them, as you are listening to the combo. Are you really happy ? 
Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what?
I have been a Klipsch fan / owner for many years, and have modified many sets of, mostly Heritage models, for me, and others. JBL, Altec, and others as well. Obviously, I am biased. My question though, if I missed it in this thread, is : why the c... 
How do SVS subwoofers compare to REL?
@wolf_garcia What is technical about pace, rhythm, attack and timing ? If you do not believe ( as in speed ), that is ok, but, these are real, when dealing with live music, or reproduced music. I would think, with your background, you would " get ... 
Coming out of the blackhole called work...retirement
@amg56....this is not an attack, but at your age ( over 50 I presume ), have your hearing checked. I do, every 18 months or so. Your sound room, as I mentioned prior, is the most critical component. Much good advice above, as, to finding out what ...

The term " speed " is quite real in the audio world, whether applied to subs, speakers, amps, etc. It is part of prat. It is one of those attributes I listen for in any component. When talking about the subject concerning speakers and subs, the ro... 
KEF 107 and Kube setup
@imhififan , exactly why I said " possible ". Good idea with the analog audio out ! 
KEF 107 and Kube setup
The Sony does not have a power amp in, so you would need to connect the cube into the tape monitor loop. There should be a way the optical input would run through the tape loop ( possible ). Because the source is tv only, it is possible that all o... 
Quad ESL-63 and low-powered amps; Sun Audio, Atma
@willemj , somewhere, you posted you could not hear hiss coming from your amplifier ( through the loudspeakers ), and that hiss was not normal. However, your young daughter heard the hiss. Need I say more. 
HI-FI NEWBIE NEEDS HELP!
Although I appreciate the scientific approach that some here have, I find it laughable that many claim, little, to no difference, in sound, between amplifiers / preamplifiers, not to mention cables, feet, and such.  
Synergy problem
Dampen the mid horn on the Forte.  
Dynamic compression in speakers themselves?
Full range horns ( I listen to Klipsch Lascalas, modified, with subs ). Some excellent hybrids available.
