Am I crazy? Definitely!


Hi All, my system is Rega RP6 with Exact cart> McIntosh MA5200> Sonus Faber Auditor M / Tannoy Precision 6.2LE / B&W Cdm7Se and REL Strata III. I have a Denon 3910 mainly for listening to SACDs from time to time. Have upgraded power cables and XLO and Van Den Hull ICs. 
2 questions. Firstly, I am thinking of buying some Klipsch Heresy gen 1. All original. This would be for cranking all my Rock vinyl as none of the other speakers are really great at rock.  
Secondly, I am thinking why don’t I just sell my speakers and get something that can do everything ( mainly listen to jazz, blues, prog, rock) and instead of rotating speakers in and out ( which I really enjoy) I can just be lazy and go with one set.  Maybe Focal Kanta? Or something like that. About 10k hopefully used. 
I’m quite attached to the RP6 and the Mc ( for now) so not interested in applying my upgraditis in this area. 
Would appreciate your thoughts and ideas on both of these points. 
Thanks.

The Klipsch heritage line is way more efficient than Tekton. I’ve heard several of the latest models and also Tekton. I would not own large Tektons personally due to aesthetics, though they sound OK if that is what appeals. Whatever you choose make sure that the speakers can be properly set up in the intended room for best performance, especially larger speakers.
There is a reason smaller less efficient and more bass extended speaker designs are the most popular these days. These tend to be easier to set up properly and unobstrusively in people’s homes and good ones set up well with proper amplification sound excellent. 
I’m glad to hear that OP will be doing proper diligence not just listening to whoever shills the loudest so my post  wasn’t useless at least to me.
Sounds like you will be getting whatever someone else best manages to talk you into buying for exact reasons unknown.  Good luck!
