I am new to this forum, have dangerously limited knowledge about hi-fi but love Klipschorns. This Tuesday I will be receiving my first pair. They are from 1986 with the AK-2 crossovers. Before I make any upgrades I need to check that they are in complete working order and use them as a reference point to improve upon, if necessary. I have a limited budget for amps and really want to appreciate the warmth of tubes. McIntosh is/was my first choice but I do not have the 2500.00 to spare and I do not know how well they are made these days. Understanding that the Klipschorns can reach 104 decibels at one watt I have an embarrassing question. Can you use the Monoprice 27222 pure tube integrated amp to drive the K-horns? It is 10 watts per channel. Would that be a good starting point (I can even upgrade the tubes) or would my speakers just be insulted and giggle at me? Any advise would be appreciated.
