Re: Is the KLH 20 as good a choice for a tube amp as the the KLH 17?

Probably, depending on the amp. That's a nominal 2.6 ohm load, pretty tough for most receivers and power amps. The 20 is listed as 4 ohms, but the tweeter and crossover are the same as the KLH 17, the 8 ohm version; so the 20 is only 4 ohms below 1500 Hz. Of course, that's where most of the energy is.

A late model NAD integrated is rated to 2 ohms and most of the Onkyo Integra line is rated to 2 ohms. But not much else is.
