I have the Dared MP5.... which looks exactly like this amp. It's the same amp, right? Mine though use different tubes. They are 12AX7, came stock with some not so nice Ruby Con 12AX7s. I have replaced them with Tung Sol 12AX7s which I much prefer. Are the 6922/6DJ8 the same pin-type as the 12AX7s, or are these just refitted differently?
I have a newer version of the MP5 (new international version) which uses different tubes from the two older versions I know (Chinese version and US version).
Anyway, it's a bit late for the other people who asked here, but the MP5 I have definitely has enough juice for the K701. Incidentally, it has enough juice for the K1000, which I used to drive from this baby. The stock Ruby tubes sounded great with the K701, very airy soundstage, but the Tung Sols I used with them were much better, kept the same airy soundstage but added some extra warmth to the low end. I don't know how these sound with the 6922/6DJ8's.
As for specs, what I know is the speaker outs are 13W/channel, so check if that works with your Klipsch speakers.
By the way, the MP5 generally is a bright-sounding amp. I usually love it best with my darker sounding gear like the LCD2, Beats Solo HD, M50, SRH750, HD650, and my custom modded SR80 (which is darker than you'd ever imagine).
