If you're hearing Tekton mushy and without detail, it could be your ears, it could be your room, or it could be your related equipment, but it is not the speakers. No idea what you mean by "better specs" but specs in general are an awful way to buy speakers. With speakers, the only spec that matters is sensitivity. Look for speakers like Tekton with sensitivity 95 dB or more.
How small is "smallish"? In a big room the distance between walls gives time and space for reflections to be delayed and attenuated, ideally to where they are pleasing ambience. In a small room the same reflections come so soon there is hardly any delay, and so high in volume the reflections compete with direct sound and it all muddles together. So it becomes much more critical to listen relatively closer to the speakers in a small room. Also room treatment will help a lot with this.
But again, main thing, it is not the Tekton Impact Monitors. No way.
