    Possibly with phono stage embedded.

    Many thanks.

    Cor. That's a tough one. From my recollection, Klipsch tend to sound good with valves. What about a Sugden or something from Rega?

    Another thought. The old Audiolab 8000a is a 'safe' sounding amp and may tame the 'take no prisoners' attitude of the Heresy. Actually, I think it may be a surprisingly effective pairing.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Marantz pm4 gerlando. I’d imagine that would be a lovely pairing

    I have a pair of Klipsch Fortes and have tried numerous amps with them to get the right sound, IMO the amp I would be looking at would be a Marantx 2230 receiver (or 1160), the Temple is another good match, they also like Quad 303 and 405's with a passive preamp.

    Marantz PM4 sounds good!!!

    What about the Linn Majik I or Meridian 551 (both with remote) or the cheaper NAD 3020, Mission Cyrus One or Pioneer A400?

    With the Heresy's I'd avoid the Cyrus One and A400. The 551 would probably be good and the 3020a might surprise you, it has a forgiving nature and has more than enough power for such sensitive speakers.

    The Marantz PM4 is a good suggestion, but finding a good one is tricky there days.
