Wrinkles Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Welcome to the forum 2A3. I can only speak for the LaScala as my 2A3 Sets played them well in a 15 x 15 feet room. I am sure there are Klipschorn owners out there that have lots of experience and wisdom with required power for the wonderful Klipschorns.

Triode Pete Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I run 2A3 SET monoblocks into my K-horns with plenty of headroom. I tried the same amps into Heresy's - no good...not enough power. My brother-in-law has 300B SET monoblocks (8 watts) into his Cornwalls without an issue at all; plenty of headroom & slam. Are you using a pre-amp with gain? If so, a 2A3 SET may be fine... the push-pull 2A3 is a no brainer... Hope this helps, Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
