Taylorbaby Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 Hey guys! Tomorrow my RF-5's are commin, and cannot wait to hook it up to my Unison Research "Unico" Tube ampliifer. My question, is my amp very suitable for speakers such as the RF-5's? They will be placed in my bedroom (normal sized) and when I heard a couple of RF-7's in the store I fell in love with the sound. The Salesman told me that the RF-5's are a bit smaller but also al lot cheaper :-) Since my dad has the "Original" Klipsch Horns I as a 22yr old, LOVE music, and in a few hours I will have my own pairl of Klipsch :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe11 Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 While I confess to not knowing a thing about the amp you're talking about, I do know that the Klipsch are very efficient and as a result can be driven with very low amounts of power. While I know that you can get away with less (especially with tube amps as you have), I'd say that any amp with at least 50 watts per channel should be more than sufficient. Assuming this amp does, then whether or not it sounds good or like crap will come down to what your ears tell you. If it doesn't sound good, welcome to the neverending joy of upgrading. ~shoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prodj101 Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 50 watts is over kill even. there are some guys on here using 3 watt tube amps with their klipsch's and getting high volume levels out of them. my RF-5's should be coming someday now too.

Taylorbaby Posted January 28, 2003 Author Share Posted January 28, 2003 YEAH got my RF5's sunday afternoon and all I can say. WOW it sounds so incredible with my Unico amp. Never heard music this way before :-) Klipsch has done it again, its in the family I guess ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
