I have a modest two channel setup with pair of Klipsch KG1's hooked up to a Pioneer 737 amp. My room is about 12ft x 8ft. I listen to more singer/songwriter acoustic stuff. I was hoping to get some tube amp recommendations to sooth that Klipsch sound and match well. Thanks

Dennis Had's Inspire line of amps would be a great match.  In fact I think there's one for sale here in the used section.

I'd love to check that out but I can't seem to find it in the used section

There's a gazillion options until you let us know your general budget. Will you be using the Pioneer as a preamp?

[Fosmosis]

Budget is around $1000 give or take. The Pioneer could be used as a pre but id prefer an all in stand alone unit to replace the pioneer all together

Coincident Dynamo 34SE MKII rated at 8 watts a side.Generates very high current,very comfortable driving 89db and above.Well reviewed.Drop dead gorgeous.You should be able to source one in your price range.

I've 0 experience with your equipment. Take this with an appropriately gargantuan grain of salt. Speakers placed against walls get boundary boosted bass reinforcement. This helps small speakers generate a wider spectrum  than free standing speakers. The tradeoff is less of other desirable characteristics. Try bringing your speakers out into the room a foot or yard. Whatever is manageable in the small room.  That is a speaker stand under the Halloween ornament, isn't it?  No cost, no harm, no foul. What's the worst that could happen? Your new amp goes a little over-budget.

As always, YMMV.

I don't think a tube amp is going to be better at taming your speakers than the pioneer.  You could start with a used Primaluna Prologue or a Jolida with EL34 tubes and see what you think. I imagine you will end up replacing the Klipschs.

I will definitely try moving the speakers away and see if that cleans up the sound. I see the Klipsch have a lot of potential, and was hoping to make a solid vintage two channel bookshelf system with the pro-ject table. The Pioneer drives then well, but, as we all experience,  I know it could improve. Anyone have experience, and gotten good results with the KG1s, or am I chasing sound that they are not capable of producing like rotarius suggested? I'd hate to throw a bunch of money at the Klipsch to have them come up underwhelming.  Thank you to all that have responded.
