joeward Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Nice B&K ST 140. Sounds really good with Klipsch or other high efficiency speakers that are 8 ohm. Local sale only, $250. Thanks for looking.Decided to withdraw this and keep it for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickyboy6100 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 The B&K ST-140. I can vouch for this amplifier. For the money, and actually hundreds more, you won’t find a better amp for Klipsch Heritage speakers. Absolutely love them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeward Posted July 19, 2023 Author Share Posted July 19, 2023 Hey there Nickyboy6100. This amp sounded good with my Klipsch RF 3's but I was thinking about trying it with my Forte's. However, in researching the amp I've found people that say it doesn't do well with 4 ohm loads. The Forte drops slightly below 4 ohms in it's impedance curve even though it's rated as 8 ohm nominal. I'm wondering if you've tried this amp with Forte's? I'd love to see how it would do but have been reluctant to something that might damage anything.

I ran Forte II and Chorus II with it and they sounded fantastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I ran rf7's on this amp about 20 years ago. The amp sounded fine to me. Regardless of what specs are ,7's are a heck of a load when pushed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeward Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 Yeah, RF7's really dip low in impedance. That says a lot for this amp...........I'm gonna keep it awhile and let it rip! Thanks for the response...........makes me feel better about the amp being able to handle tough loads. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
