Tekton or Klipsch

I've got the upgrade bug and I'm looking for something a bit bigger than my KEF ls50s. Two speakers that really have my attention right now are Tekton Doulbe Impacts and Klipsch Forte III. Is anyone in an position to comment on how these speakers compare? I have never had the opportunity to hear any tektons but I have heard Klipsch heresey IIIs and really enjoyed that experience. 

I loved the live sound of the heresy and I understand that only gets bigger and better with the forte. The overwhelmingly positive reviews for the Tektons definitely caught my attention, especially the way they are said to be able to play any type of music well which is probably my biggest complaint against my KEFs.  I am ultimately looking for a bigger fuller sound that can both keep it classy and rock out. The kefs are classy but they most certainly do not rock.

Pick up a pair of used Heresys and if you like them but need "more" sell them ( klipsch heritage  sell fast in my experience ) and move up the line. The new forte sounded very good at Axpona  btw and is gorgeous. 
The Heritage  line can sound wonderful  but they tend to upper midrange thinness and can be bass shy in the wrong room.  Alk crossovers can aleviate much of this with their adjustable taps and if you really want  to go down the rabbit hole replacement mid horns help too. 
If you dont like the Heresy at all look to lively direct radiators like the tekton. Reference 3a speakers are nice and lively and can be pretty wonderful avoiding potential  horn issues.
