Speakers are highly subjective. One man’s junk is another man’s treasure. I don’t usually listen to someone who complains about wait time to get speakers, how they look, how good their ears are or how terrible a speaker sounds. Conversely I don’t pay attention to words like mind blowing, freaking awesome or gobsmacked when someone talks about the greatness of a speaker. I usually will listen to details about how the speaker sounds without the other ridiculous stuff.
A speaker is a container with drivers and a maybe a crossover. It’s something you like or don’t. I have heard both Klipsch and Tekton and they both make very good speakers. It’s really the sound you are looking for. I think the Klipsch are easier to drive and you have to like the horn sound. Actually both can be driven with tubes, even low watt amps.
I have Tekton DI SE in one system and Vandersteen 2CE Sig II with stereo Rythmik subs in another. They both sound good to ME. The Tekton are more forward and will fill up a room with sound, very musical and yes they can compare to horns in that sense. The Vandys are more laid back and also sound great. Try to have a listen to both these speakers, if you can and with as close to your setup and music as possible...
