Best option


I've asked this before but now I'm going to be alot more specific. Big room, 20x40, around 700 dollars to spend, and two channel are my restrictions. I have a Technics receiver rated at 75W per channel at the moment, will be buying new one shortly. I was thinking about getting Klipsch Forte II off ebay, but from further reading, everyone recommends tube amps. Is this a bad idea to match them. If so what would you recommend I get? Thanks.

Hey Cwaigy,

I owned the Klipsch Forte II for over 15 years before I sold them about 3 months ago. They are fantastic speakers for the money, even back then. They are extremely efficient and require very little power. You can't go wrong whether you continue to use your 75 watt receiver or upgrade to a tube amp. Even a very low power tube amp will power these fine. I was using a Rogue 88 tube amp in Triode mode which translated to about 35 watts and it was more power than needed.
