Bottlehead recommendations for Klipsch Heritage

[danielg]

Hi there, this is my first post here!
I've recently purchased a Line Magnetic Push-Pull LM34 Integrated amp to go with my Garrard 401 TT and Klipsch Forte III speakers, I feel like the amp too harsh with my speakers, very hot trumpety high-mids, and lack of bass, oomph and flow in the music. I'm starting to get more and more interested in old horn + SET systems, and thought maybe it isn't a bad idea to build a SET amp myself. I don't have experience in electronics etc, but I'm willing to learn, I am based in the UK.

I heard great things about Bottlehead, and it seems like their prices are really fair.

- Does anybody here have Bottlehead + Klipsch experience ?

- Which of the Bottlehead kits would you recommend that I buy?

- Do you think a SET Bottlehead kit would make a good match to get some gentleness and musicality out of my very sensitive Klipsch?

I hear, have heard, that bottlehead amps are noisy...  but I guess not all of them are.
