thank you so much for the kind and detailed answers everyone 🙂 The 2100 is NOT a tube amp but a solid state one hence the idea to put it on top. 1) based on everything I read I think I'll put some buffer between the amp and the speaker. what would you suggest? glass? foam? 2) why do the speaker cables need to be in the same length? I was planning on having one that is 0.5m and the second around 5m. bad?

thanks @garyrc see picture attached just to understand why i think it could be perfect assuming its not a risk 🙂

Hey guys😀 I think I found the perfect spot for new Mcintosh MC2100 amp and it's on top of my Forte I (see picture attached)?!?!?!?! Is that a problem or risk for the speaker? sound wise? heat/temperature wise? Any recommendation about the topic? Have a great weekend!

Hey guys, Is there someone here with a Rega ELEX R and Forte I ? Have a great weekend 🙂

@ODS123 just bought these second hand Forte I three days ago 🙂 so no amp yet 🙂

thanks, @ODS123 any suggestions for paring with a forte I ? *Room - big living room 15 x 20ft (4.6 x 6.0m) * Setup - 2 Technics sl1200 and an e&s DJR400 mixer *Music formats: mostly vinyl and from time to time streaming over an Audioengine B1 from the mixer *Music type: Ambient, Jazz, Brazil, Disco and House (No rock or classic which seems to be on the paper the big plus of Klipsch

So based on this chat can I assume that I should not do a big fuss when choosing an amp for my Forte I and simply buy something for $100/$200 max? 🙂

Thanks @Drewg

Hey guys, I wonder if some of you are using McIntosh MC2100 or 250 with the Frote I? Thanks!

Great guys! I'm trending towards tube at the moment and trying to harvest more recommendations on brands and models. What else is out there that sounds great with your Forte I? 🙂

Hey guys, I'm new here and would love to get advice on best pairings for a second hand Forte I I have just bought 🙂 *Room - big living room 15 x 20ft (4.6 x 6.0m) * Setup - 2 Technics sl1200 and an e&s DJR400 mixer *Music formats: mostly vinyl and from time to time streaming over an Audioengine B1 from the mixer *Music type: Ambient, Jazz, Brazil, Disco and House (No rock or classic which seems to be on the paper the big plus of Klipsch) Would love to get suggestions for SS amps v.s Tubes (and why) plus a small explanation about the sound quality bump if I move from investing anything around $600 to a $1200/$1500 Thanks a million for any kind advice and guidance.
