danbry39 Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 Anyone heard or experienced how well these amps work with Klipsch. I'm interested for my bedroom setup which uses Klipsch Reference as the speakers. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrPyro Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 danbry- Yes, I have heard a pair of RF3s hooked to a parasound, can't remember exactly which amp, but the combination was nice, no real complaint about the sound. In addition to the parasound, you might look at a Bryston, Adcom, or Aragon (the new 2000 series look SWEET). Let your ears be the judge! -Dave ------------------ Home Theater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 I use Parasound amps with my La Scalas. I am VERY pleased with the results. They are very clean, neutral and keep a vice-grip control over the woofers. I use a 1203A and a 1000A. The 1203A operates in Class A up to about 1.25 watts and the 1000A up to about 1.6 watts. With La Scalas, that amounts to loud! I recommend them. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbflash Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 I was using a Parasound HCA1500 amp until last Sunday. I replaced it with a pair of unmodded Waves. I have used it with both KLF 20's and Heresey's. Great sound. Works really well with a tube pre amp. Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbry39 Posted June 17, 2002 Author Share Posted June 17, 2002 Thanks everyone. I know that Klipsch speakers are more amp sensitive than other non-horn speakers. Sounds like Parasound makes a good match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halder35 Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 I run a Parasound 2205 with my KLF speakers and couldn't be happier. The sound is crisp and tight at any volume level ( at lease levels that you can remain in the same room.

danbry39 Posted June 18, 2002 Author Share Posted June 18, 2002 Just to let you all know, I've placed a bid on the Parasound 1205A for $649. After scouring the internet for as much information as I could, I just gotta believe this is one super amp, maybe even better than that on my Onkyo 696 (just kidding). I have made all the requisite family member's approval requests and was told, "Yeah, sure. Why not? If it will make you happy." They're a very special family, given the fact that I've already spent $14,000 in the last year upgrading the electronics in my bedroom (this includes my new computer setup). Now, if only I can get my wife to agree to allow me to put a little fridge and microwave by my bed, I'll never leave, never go to work, never talk to my family again...wait, perhaps that's why they're agreeing. Anyway, now for the preamp... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
