SCHORN

Not only do we need the jackets but please, please, please make the T-shirt with the Hobit sitting on top of the La Scala, I absolutly love this shirt.

I just wanted to tell you that a good friend of mine has a Levinson 331 and a pair of Klipshorns and the sound is amazing. This amp and speaker match up is really something, IMHO. You should get hold of a pair of horns and see how you like it. The 331 is my next amp after hearing his set up.

Hi Tony. Thanks again for your reply. It's nice to hear that the Levinson & Krell SS were holding there own against your 2A3 amp. It's a simple case of SS vs Tubes and what sounds and works best for me, gonna be fun man!!!!! Kind Regards Schorn.

Hi Tony, Thanks Man, sorry about not listing my musical tastes but I listen to everything from Ambient, African, Jazz, Latin Jazz, Jazz Funk, Disco, Funk, Soul, Rock, New Wave, Pop, House, etc.....the list goes on. All the amps you listed sound great, I've got a lot of research to do. Many Thanks Schorn.

Hey Colin, Yeap this is the list alright, I'll look in to them all. I just bought one of those Sonic Impact amps just for fun but I've not hooked it up yet, maybe this weekend. When I got the SI amp in the mail I couldn't believe how tiny it was, it's going to be interesting. Thanks again Colin. Schorn.

Hi Carl, The only reason I don't want to use a Tube pre is because I'm using a mixer/preamp already and I don't want to run the signal through 2 preamps although there's no harm in trying, to hell with it I'll give it a go and see if it makes a difference. Thanks Schorn.

Hi Ben, I know, the mixer is really taking away from the phonostage but there's no other way to get around this problem as it's essential I have a mixer. I've tried the Bozak, GLI 5991, Allen & Heath Xone, Urei 1620, etc.....to find the one that sounds best with the K-Horns. I wish I could get someone to build me a Class A mixer/preamp. Maybe one day. Thanks for your reply Ben, Cheers Schorn.

Thanks Tom for taking the time to write this response. Yeah the Adcom is a fine amp and has served me well but I would really like to take the next step and move up to Class A. I spoke with my friend about the posibility of me trying his amp in my home, it should be no problem. I have tried a Scott 299B tube amp on my Belles before and it sounded good but like you said it's a different sound. Thanks again Tom, looks like I'll be doing some blind tests soon. Reagrds to you and everyone who has taken time to reply.....keep them coming guys lets hear about more amps.. Schorn.

OK here goes with my system specs. 1 pair of 93 K-Horns 1 pair of 87 Belle 1 Adcom GFA-555 Pro 1 Urei 1620 mixer pre-amp 2 Technics 1200 MK4 (Japan only) W/Cardas Golden Cross interconects, Audioquest gel mats, Navcom Silencer feet Grado DJ200i needles and cartridges & Cardas headshell cables. 1 Cardas Golden Cross XLR cable from my Mixer pre-amp to my Adcom power amp. 4 Pairs of Cardas cross speaker cables 1 Triplite power/line conditioner. My room is quite small at the moment but my wife and I will be moving to a bigger place soon so please son't worry about this I'm just trying to finish off my front end so when I move I can concentrate of the room acoustics and buy more speakers.

Thanks for your reply. Yeah amp only as I'm more of an Audiophile DJ so I use a Urei 1620 audio mixer as my pre amp. I remember reading about the amp you mentioned, I'll look in to it. Many thanks Schorn.

Hi there, Yeah 1st post for me, got to start somewhere. I check Audiogon all the time, this is where I got my K-Horns, great site. I just want to get some feedback on what other members think is the best complimenting amp for these speakers. Thanks for your reply, Schorn.

Dear Klipsch Forum Members, I've been frequenting this board for many years now, and I've enjoyed all of your posts and replies no end. I'm hoping you guys can help me with something. I own a pair of 93 K-Horns and 87 Belles and run them off the (Got to start somewhere) Adcom GFA-555 Pro, with great results. Now, I will finally be upgrading from the Adcom but I'm unsure what amp to replace the Adcom with. My budget will be up to $2000 and I only want to buy the amp used. I've been thinking about a Mark Levinson 331 for sometime now as a friend of mine runs his K-Horns off one and they sound awesome!!! I hope you guys can help. Many Thanks Schorn. :bigsmile:]
