  1. I have a Forte model 1A 50 watt class A amp. It has played beautifully for the few years that I have had it and still does. the problem is that as with most class A amps it has big cooling fins on each side that used to get nice and toasty to the touch. Now both sides while playing stay nice and cool and they never heat up. What has happened to the excess heat. I would like to get it cooking again to help heat my house during this winter. Does anyone know what is happening to this amp and how to fix.

    Thanks

  2. Thanks for your responses. The reason I considered 30 watts to much power is from reading the posts of people using very low wattage tube amps to drive their cornwalls or K-horns and others. do these 3.5 or 5 watt tube amps offer the control and damping abilities needed for the bass on these speakers.

  3. Greetings all,

    been reading all your posts for awhile now which created a desire to go Klipsch. I now have a klf c-7 center and the mighty Klipsch Epic cf3's which I find very impressive. My problem though is when I hook up my 30 watt integrated tube amp (Antique sound Labs Aq1003Dt), the bass is just too boomy with this speaker. Is it the quality of the tube amp that is the problem. Or could it be this amp has to much power for this speaker with its 100db sensitivity.

    My 200 watt rotel has great control on the epics and they sound fantastic together so I won't miss the tube amp if I have to let it go

    but would appreciate any imput.

    Thanks,

    Shiva
