  1. Hello. Newbie to the Klipsch community and tubes... After years of SS ventures, I have just acquired a fully restored HH Scott 299A 17 watts per side integrated tube amp from a local audio shop-WOW, should have made this switch years ago. Was using it to drive my restored KLH model 5's- 8 ohm 87db and turntable-strictly vinyl these days. Started to notice grain around 11am on the volume and did not get full sound until around 10am. Thus, started to search for a more efficient speakers for my current set up. Naturally, Klipsch came to mind. Found a local pair of Klipsch KP 101's and picked them up. At first listen they sound great but again a little distortion creeping even at lower levels. I cannot find any definite spec information. Looked at a another post that had the KP 110 specs- 94db 8ohm, 5ohm min. They are in the light oak casing with horn and woofer. Any ideas about the true specs for this speaker? Fortunately, a fella in my neighborhood had an inactive pair of KG 4's and was kind enough to let me check them out. At the crossover on the binding post it states 1984 4ohms and 91db but on the Klipsch site it states 6ohms and 94db? They are a little banged up and will need a new crossover speaker terminal plate-and all cones are slightly creased or dented-but still sounded pretty darn good. Same question-what are the accurate specs? With all that said- my HH Scott has connections for 4, 8, & 16 ohm matching near the speaker terminals. Currently set at 8. I understand that tubes, turntable set up, etc are at play here and have done my best to troubleshoot and narrow it down to speaker sensitivity and matching. Any input on specs and best plans for moving forward will be appreciated.
