gerall Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I own a pair of older quicksilver M60 monoblock amps which are heavily modified, using EL34s. My current speakers are Eminent Technology LFT - at 83db they are incompatible with the amps. Mike Sanders at quicksilver recommended Klipsch's as a perfect match. I usually buy used and my budget is 3,000 give or take and my room is 14 X10. Any recommendations? Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Make sure you turn down the volume before hooking up just about any of the Klipsch models, most have at least 100db sensitivity in you price range. Good luck on you quest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Welcome to the forums! We can help you spend your money. Even the new Heresy IVs could be good in that size room, and as much as I love La Scalas, that's getting to be a bit small for them. Fully horn loaded are hard to beat though. Where are you located? Perhaps someone close can audition something for you (following all the distancing guidelines, of course...) Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panelhead Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 La Scala is always a good choice. It is hard to beat them. Add a sub too. 3,000.00 should cover a pair of La Scala’s And a sub or two. Many play in a room close to yours. But LS are 2’ x 2’. Figure a foot off the wall and they are 3’ into the room. If your ears are 2’ off the wall behind it is 5’ from the speakers. I think that is why Klipsch made Belles. Firing longwise is an option. Even placed in the corners and toed in, less than 5’ between the speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a pair about 6 feet apart, and they imaged great, and still had width to the soundstage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerall Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 Thank you. I live in Yardley, Bucks County Pennsylvania. I don't see many LA Scala's on the used market now. The other speaker that was recommended was the Altec Lansing Valencia - are any of you familiar how they compare to the La Scala? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Meant to add, I use 2A3 SET amps at 3.5 watts a side, and for me was plenty of power. Your M60s should work great... they would mostly coast with any Klipsch product, especially what are considered the Heritage models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panelhead Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 One great option is the H IV. Deeper bass than a La Scala, still efficient, and small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
