Tekton DI's or Klipsch Forte III

Hello all, It's a pretty simple question, I currently have a set of Klipsch Forte III's driven with a Rogue Atlas Magnum II and Rogue HP-1 Pre. Like the Klipsch a lot but am getting the itch to try the Tekton DI's.

My question is to those that have heard both, are the DI's as dynamic as the F3's with better clarity and soundstage or am I better off to stay where I am?

Thanks

I know, I know, another Tekton discussion!

I have heard neither, though done some reading on both at different times as I mulled over my own speaker change decisions. Just today I heard a Youtube review on the Tekton DI by Thomas & stereo. He really likes the DI, but says they wouldn’t be his end game speaker because they don’t have the detail and resolution of his favorite speakers.

My opinion is that with the off-the-shelf paper woofers they have, the Klipsch might have superior detail over the Tektons.  It might be worth it for you to look up the Thomas & Stereo review on the Tektons.

Millercarbon sounds really enthusiastic about Tekton, but I’ll beg to differ that you can get an accurate idea on how a speaker sounds with YouTube videos,  there’s just too many variables.

the only way to get an accurate picture is to have the speakers in your room with your gear.  Some like Tekton, some don’t, but you will never know until you try.  That’s why they offer an in home trial.

That’s all well and good, but you need the speakers in your room connected to your system to get an accurate picture of what they sound like.
