Questions regarding used Jolida tube integrated I looked at today.
You should pass on that amp. It could be anything from the power transformer to bad caps. Find something better,you sure don’t need a 150 watt tube amp for Klipsch speakers. If your friend wants a tube amp anything 30 watts up will be fine! 
2 Channel Subwoofer connection
+1 avanti 1960The JL Audio D110 is an oustanding sub. I use one with my Harbeth monitors and it works better than other subs that I have used.  Crutchfield has a return policy if it doesn't work out for you!

@dlcockrum It’s Dynamic Range Compression used in the recording process. Most of my Sheffield Lab Direct to Disc are a lot lower compared to most others. This should explain it!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_range_compression
