Ok - First post, so be gentle.
I have some history with Klipsch my first ones being KG 3.5. I presently own Heresy IIIs and recently unboxed some Cornwall IIIs which I bought new and had in storage.
I have a rebuilt Carver amp, McIntosh MA252, and an Outlaw Audio RR2160. I dont see the Outlaw mentioned a lot here but I think its a great value and now has a predecessor the RR2160 MKII. 110 Watts per channel, lots of features. A real value and a great starter Integrated amp in my opinion at just under a grand. I'd be hard pressed to tell a real noticable difference that would warrant the cost difference between the McIntosh and the Outlaw.
