Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

well, I've always felt that some amplifiers were more empathetic towards Klipsch than others...

loudspeaker placement is even more critical,though.

To paraphrase Tom Brennan yet again: face-down is always a good choice, unless it's possible place them a few miles away from one's listening space.

;)


In seriousness, I found the "Heritage" Klipsch to sound absolutely horrible with typical solid state amplifiers, good with single-ended triode amplification, and the best I ever heard mine sound was with them connected to a Marantz 8B (a rather redoubtable, well designed and executed push-pull EL34 stereo power amp).

Fisher 400 or 500C sound good with them, too, but I think it's mostly because they smooth out (round over) the rough edges of the loudspeakers.

The Marantz made my '74 Cornies sound like very good loudspeakers.


all the best,
mrh
