I have a lot of reference materials, most likely will be Allison Krauss, Jennifer Warnes, Dire Straits, Lyle Lovett, and a few others.................I dont do Alcohol, so will be strong black coffee (Petes Major Dickenson Blend) or Chai Tea 2 hours ago, oldred said: Which pair? George, Horn Monos, LOW gain 25wpc http://quicksilveraudio.com/products/horn-mono-amp/ I have a Bi-Amp system using a Lii Audio F-15 Full Range Driver up top and a Lii Audio W-15 on Bottom. Using a SET 6L6 amp on the top paired with my Supertec Syrah Pre it sounds phenomenal but the gain is such that even a 5 / 6 WPC set amp restricts the Pre Volume to 9: O-clock position at best. The Quicksilvers have higher WPC But Lower gain they were designed for use with horn speakers. They are dead quiet......................I am hoping the lower gain will allow for better use for the volume control on my pre. I already know I like the sound having had an older pair of the horn monos that lost a power supply cap, and I sold them as a project 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloceleste Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Congrats! And for Klipsch fans, I’m fairly certain but not positive that Mike Sanders uses Cornwalls as one of his voicing speakers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve. Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 You will love them. They are dead quiet and sound great . Those are lower gain and perfect for Klipsch speakers . Be sure to post your impressions. They are built like a tank. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Everyone knows all of your amps are used. I mean you run ‘em for like a week before you ship them. 🙂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought a pair last month. You're going to enjoy them. With a standard hifi preamp (2v out), my Belles can still get so loud it's hard to be in the same room with them, but it's still crystal clear. I couldn't help it, though. I ordered a Xiang Sheng 802b to see what they sound like with a pre that is up to the task of delivering the 9v input gain. Just to see what the outer limits are. Maybe open up my sliders and have a block party when it gets here Edited May 17, 2021 by GriffinFL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
