    I agree with the others, it's hard to beat a Luxman for the price. My vote is for R-115 (117's can be $$$, & the 115 is usually plenty of power for most Klipsch) I'm using my R-115 as a pre-amp (Lux recievers sound "warm", not sterile/flat) with the pre-outs feeding a restored Yamaha M-60 amp.

     

    Why? I get the remote volume control & "warm" sound of the Lux PLUS the watts/headroom & cool dual power meter display of the Yammy 😃  

    How about the R113?

    I use a H/K 430 on H3s, love it.  So much so I 've been the unsuccessful bidder on a handful of other amps in the line (730 or a 330c) along with some of the H/K quads (75+).  I've also been exploring some of the Pioneer SX-X50 amps and the Onkyo TX-X500 line as an alternate given their relatively high damping factors but have yet to come across the right one (a combination of non-working features to drive the price down but not so destroyed that they're a boat anchor).

     

    I'll admit you might need to turn down the treble, which I had done when running the H/K 430.  Lately I've been biamping using the H/K 430 for the woofer and a TU-8200 for the squwaker + tweeter.  I find that the combo either tamed the harshness of the amp/tweeter or there was some serious confirmation bias justifying the renewed use of the unused Elekit.

    Honestly I would welcome some treble. I think the caps in my speakers, which are original , may be a little tired after 59 years. I've inspected them, and are outwardly clean, so I'd like to keep them original if at all possible. I just ordered a set of Klipsch bookshelf speakers to pair with them, to gain some crisper highs. I already added a sub.

    H series speakers crossovers

    I took the backs off and everything looks perfect. 

    The speakers sound great, especially since I added a subwoofer to the mix.

    I think perhaps I was considering the caps because the highs are ont as crisp as I thought they should be, but I might be affected by years of exposure to electrostatic tweeters.

    Perhaps I'll leave them be and add some nice new bookshelf speakers to enhance the highs.

    Thanks for everyone contributing

    Hello!

    So I sort of inherited these speakers and I have no idea what they are exactly. I find similar things online, but not exactly these.

    They are cool, that's for sure.

    Any help as to value, etc. Would be appreciated 

    Model HH12

    SN 8b06

    I have no idea how to add a picture

    Thanks

    Scott
