Amp suggestions

I have a pair of Klipsch kg3.5's. I have had an adcom 5400 on them at one point. I have $400-500 to spend on an amp. I was going to get an adcom 555, but I'm finding out that may be too much power for the speakers I have. I had a tube amp suggested to me, but I'm not sure I can go that route. I'm using my yamaha receiver as the "preamp". I really like volume, I usually listen to alternative/hard rock. So I'm not sure I can get a tube amp that would be loud enough for my price range. Aslo, how would a tube amp blend with the other 3 speaker while watching movies? Are there any other ss amps out there that someone might suggest other than the adcoms? Ones that might not have quite so much power, but would sound better on the horns. Thanks for the help.

The sensitivity of your speakers would give you less room to play with the volume, but there are many people who use very high powered amps with speakers similar to yours. The nice thing about them is they don't require lots of power, but they can handle it.
You don't need to shy away from the 555 is you want it, but you certainly could use SETs if you wanted. You have lots of options!
Have fun!
