Mwilson-
I agree with you on the Klipsch's for choices, except for the Forte 11's. I have those and while they are a good speaker, they sound better with low power tube amps. I recommend the KLF-30 ( if one can still find them at a good price) as I have those as well. I have hooked up both pairs and the KLF-30 can take whatever you give them. Something to think about as well is that the 30's can be bi-amped while the Fortes can't be.
Just my thoughts.
