I'm using and AVR- though I did borrow a crown pro audio amp at one time and the BASS in the Klipsch speakers was 'otherworldly' - hence I'm on this journey to find the right amp.

Acknowledging their high sensitivity, Do you recommend McIntosh Amps such as the MC252, MC452, MC 501, MC601, etc? I keep getting -"Get the MC275!" from the forum collective, but I don't want to deal with Tubes.
Anyone of those amps would be superb. The older design MC252 and MC501's, I think, would be a slightly warmer, more tube-like sound. The newer MC452 and MC601's are a little faster more modern amp. High powered amps work extremely well on high sensitivity speakers. Klipsch speakers are better than many people believe.

Back when I was in my residency, one of my professors had an original C22 preamp and three original MC275 amps in mono driving two Klipschorns and a Cornwall in a room that must have been about 25 x 40 feet. It was mighty good.

He seemed to have all the things we residents wished we had--cars, boats, stereo, family, house.... He even got his wish when it came to his dying. He wanted to be on his sailboat. Unfortunately, he got his wish when he was only 57.

Be happy with everything you have because you aren't going to have it forever.

Gary.......I like that. We don't actually own anything. We just stand guard on our worldly possessions until the next guard takes over. And so it goes.

That's not in the least bit funny.
