Yup, one of Klipsch finest IMO worked well as a center with my Chorus II's for years. Also ran a pair in stereo for a bedroom setup I preferred them over the 75's and even the Palladium 17's. 

Post pics thats one hell of a system so don’t think anything less of it

Yesterday, June 28, the new album from The Warning, a group of sisters from Mexico, was released              

Hi, Look at the poster  🤩    : I have some RALPH Records records from that era, including Snakefinger Edit: I rummaged through my discotheque: I have from Ralph, in addition to the Snakefinger albums, LPs from: The Residents, Yello, Tuxedomoon               On bass : Michael Steele who joined The Bangles band a year later    

Unfortunately, there is no clear "technical" answer to this question. It has a lot to do with taste and personal preferences. Because the Heritage speakers are so efficient, some people like the advantages of the small SET amps, holographic sound, etc. Others like a solid sound with reserves and authority in the sound image. Then there is the question of which of the two concepts is fatigue-free listening in the long term. Then there is the question of whether a small SET should feed a bass horn or has to feed a large bass reflex speaker. Personally, I'm more in the camp of the solid sound image with dynamic reserves. A very classic combination is, for example, a Klipschorn with Mcintosh tubes. I like it best with my C22CE and MC275Mk4. But my older sand Quad34 with Quad 606 also sound very nice. From time to time I use a 300B SET or one of my friend's home-made 6L6 SETs with 3 watts, I think. But these are always just short excursions while I'm already looking forward to what I perceive as the "real" powerful sound.

I think this was in 1958  Just surfing YouTube for any surprises and found this fantastic little gem 💎    Toshiko Akiyoshi
