I have to agree with the McIntosh amp to Klipsch speakers. I own a very small early Mc SS amp MC2505 IIRC, and have Heresys and Lascalas. They are a great synergistic match. I don't think that amp has the tone controls etc., but I see early Mc receivers with those options for less than a thousand fairly often.
The Accuphase and the Luxmans are also a good choice IMO with their rich soft sound to counter the horn honk Klipsch makes with some tunes and associated gear.
