Ultimate Amplifier for the next 20 Years
Ahhh, I should have also thought about "what is to hot"...my tube amps do run fairly warm. I was thinking more in terms of my Krell Ksa-250 as running HOT...my tube amps do not pump the heat that my Krell does...some tube amps may though?Dave

Put some tubes on those Apogees, I'm running my Duetta Signatures with Rogue Audio monos for around a month now. Let the digital amps do the subs.Dave 
Newbie looking for system suggestions
I always start with a good look at the room I'm going to be dealing with and any placement issues I'll have in this room...speaker setup is critical to good sound.Sound pressure levels, setup issues within the room, your budget, are a good place t... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
DmurfetDrop by the Apogee speaker users forum, we have members in the UK that will be more than happy to let you do just that. We have members all over Europe with many Apogee models for that matter. BTW, A pair of one of the best ever Apogees (Sc...

Dmurfet asked:"I have still yet to hear a sax that sounds as *breathy* as in real life with a sax right in front of you..... anyone heard different?"The best sax I've heard... "breathy" and very real sounding has come from my Apogees in my room pl... 
How Old is Old when considering an Amp? Krell, Bry
Mapleleafs3Something tells me your not very good at building stereo systems...HeHeHeThe Ksa-150/250's are around $400 for Krell to rebuild to spec..shipping another couple hundred. 15 years is a long life for these two amps...my Ksa-250 went out a...

Dpm2340 said:"decent sound that wouldn't have me looking for others anytime soon."A goal we all want! With that in mind, you didn't mention your rooms size or the SPL's you will need (MAX) to keep you happy long term. The most beautiful sounding a...

Rogue M-120 Magnum is in your price range, for a little more the Rogue M-150 Magnums. I bought the 120's a few weeks back and like them a lot...very musical and have a good power supply... which is what you will need if you want to maintain solid ... 
Magnepans for the Blues?
I have Duetta Signatures Beernut. I have solid state (Krell Ksa-250) or tube (Rogue M-120 Magnum) that I can use to drive them with...the Rogues drive the Apogees with ease, and of course the Krell will drive them even louder than I ever care to g...

Well, I'm not much for box speakers, so Soundlab/Apogee/Maggies as speaker choices for me...amps would depend on which of those three I went with. Could be tubes or solid state...depending.Dave 
System Synergy
Rogue Audio "Cronus" tubed Integrated Amplifier could be a good match with your Klipsch. I'd stay away from all but a very few SS units with Klipsch speakers.The Bluecircle may be a good choice.Dave 
Effortless, grain-free sound - is it possible?
I agree with Plato and I'm not suprised that your system can not do most of what you would like it to do...you do have a nice system though.Dave 
Gon bonkers with def tech...help..
"Currently using these for a 70/30 ht/music set up""Did my local audio guy totally point me in the wrong direction??"Nope, those are very good speakers for your needs...I think your audio guy pointed you to kick-ass hometheater speakers that also ...
