I'll second that. I've heard them at a local dealer a few times and was blown away at the sound coming out those slim towers... and they look even smaller in person. Very nice bass too. I'll third that. I owned a pair for a few years back and they consistently impressed me, to a point where I'm considering buying another set. Within their limitations, they're one of my favorites and a great value. The Sttaf's are nice as well, a bit more relaxed in their presentation and easier to drive.

Consider a small, 6BQ5 or EL84 integrated tube amplifier to use with your speakers. I've been a tube guy for a little while now, and I think that the 6BQ5/EL84 is one of the more musical tubes to mate with Klipsch until you hit low-power SET territory. There are plenty vintage amplifiers by Eico, Dynaco out there or a new Jolida JD-102B should be available for ~$600 or used for ~$400. I have recently DIY'd an EL84 amplifier based on a Dynaco ST-35 and it sounds amazing on my Chorus and my buddy's La Scala.
