McIntosh & Klipsck RF-7's


Hi.....

I've been longing for a McIntosh/Klipsch system for years but my only exposure to this combination was over 20 years ago when my brother had some Klipschorns and a Mac tube amp as as I remember the sound was incredible.

I've just bought the first piece of the new system....a pair of Klipsch RF-7's and now I'm on the hunt for a good suitable amp. I originally thought of a McIntosh MA2275 tube integrated amp but have been told that it doesn't have enough power for these speakers and that I need at least 200 watts per channel.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this or have experience with the McIntosh/RF-7 combination?

Thanks for your comments.

Regards,

Jack

Don't those speakers have 96 or 98 dB sensitivity? If so, you definately don't need 200W - even with a 4 ohm impedance. I think the 2275 would be just fine.
