Zinman Posted November 19, 2001 Share Posted November 19, 2001 I am in the midst of assembling my dream system for a newly renovated Home Theatre Room. This system would be built around a pair of K-horns for mains. My research into controllers and power amps led me to Simaudio. The local Simaudio dealer went into apoplexy when I suggested K-horns as my main speakers for this amp, his reasoning being that the power amp would never be engaged above its slow idle with such efficient speakers.

TheEAR Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 What the... Listen here,I have FOUR SimAudio amps(three Celeste and one MOON W5).All these work damn well with the large Klipsch. I have the RF-7 as mains in one system and the Celeste 4250SE works damn well with them.Sure the amp may not even output over 5 watts on most peaks.Still the sound quality is great,the match is very good. Celeste and MOON series from SimAudio work well with the Klipsches,even the very large Klipsch speakers. Try and desice for yourself. I know I like the result,smooth,detailed and POWER to break walls if needed. TheEAR(s) Now theears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zinman Posted November 20, 2001 Author Share Posted November 20, 2001 Gentlemen, thank you for your replies. Unfortunately, in Calgary, the Klipsh dealers do not carry Simaudio and vice-versa,so a certain amount of salesman bias may be coming into play. The Simaudio Attraction/Titan combo appears to me to be a spectacular pairing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
