Mcintosh 6900/Klipsh Cornwall III - a good match?


Do they work well together?

Also:

My room is pretty small (15.sqm) and square so I'll have to put them right agaisnt the back the wall (is it OK?) and the distance between the front panel and my sofa (which is also right against the front wall) will be approximately 340 cm. Is it enough? Will they overpower the room?

I own Cornwall III's, initially driven by a MAC MA6600. At 200 w/ch, the horns were easily over-driven (when pushed to their physical stops at high volume levels) the distortion became quite jarring. I remedied that by using only the MAC's preamp section to drive a pair of Luxman MB3045 mono-block tube amps (50 w/ch). With this lash-up, the horns cannot be over-driven (to their physical limitation). I would like to try a 100 w/ch tube amp next, to see if I can't get a little more volume.
