KLF40 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Hi all ! Just wanted to share my experience with you. After trying several amp on my KLF20 (I'm lucky, I got 2 pairs of KLF20, and I'm in Europe, hardest to find) I found a perfect match for a small/medium room. The little integreted Marantz 1060 ! That really rocks ! Well in fact, voice is smooth, all is very well detailed ! Does some of you tried this association, Marantz 1060 and some "reasonable" Klipsch ? (I'm not speaking about CW of course..., but about KLF series, RF-5 / 7, RF83... ) For bigger rooms, my collection of Phase Linear match really well with my KLFs ;-) Now, I'm looking after a tube amp. Thought at some stuff with 300B, but perhaps not the best choice with KLF 20 ? Any suggestions ? Thanks ! Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWL Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I use a 1070 in my bedroom system with some KG 4.2's. [Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLF40 Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 Thanks for your reply SWL I don't know the KG line, but spec are good. Look like a klf 20, less a horn. Seems that little Marantz really fit well with Klipsh floorstanding speakers... For the tube amp, I seek on the forum. Seems that EL 34 or EL 84 would be a better choice rather than 300B for my KLF... Some of you could give me his feedback on it ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocko81 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I have a pair of RF-82's that are powered by my Marantz 3250B and 170DC wow do they sound good, nice and warm. Before that that were powered with a Marantz 2015, I was amazed at how well that little receiver sounded with the 82's. IMO Klipsch and Marantz can't be beat! That is besides tubes[] Rocko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quadklipsh Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 o boy what a combination i am proud owner of a marantz 2230 30 watts ,of high current drive horse power the klipsch wants only second to tubes i hv run art audio 100 watts tube mono blocks with a pair of klipsch bookshelf sb 3s very well controlled even at devastating volumes though not amazing at all but as i connected my 2230 (purchased 5 days back or so ) with my RF3s everything was there the best sound i cud have so far warm,juicy,mellowy,velvetty sorry if u start feeling hunger pangs now lolz thought it might help stay posted a bit too bright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quadklipsh Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 "a bit too bright " this was meant for the SB3s and the tubes (ART AUDIO MAESTRO ) the marantz is warm and thrilling plenty of low end even with 30 watts so dont think ur going wrong those klipsch r 98 dbs they need a few watts only to shake ur roof and i have loved the look of those vintage 1060 marantzes wish id find one somedayy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KLF40 Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 Hi everyone, I was under one or two tons of work (and my shoulders are not so wide...) ;-) Thanks for your replies ! I'm happy to read that some of you have good returns on Marantz matching with Klipsch. Perhaps I will seek for a bigger Marantz' model (but not necesseraly bigger power) rather than tubes... ? But seems that the little 1060 is a good catch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
