Tekton versus Klipsch


Hi, 

I am exploring tube amp friendly speakers.

I have listened to Cornwall 4's and Goldenear 2's.

Can anyone share how the sound of the Tektons, say Double Impacts, would compare to the other two brands?

Thanks for listening,

Dsper

I only have three things to add:

A. I asked a Facebook forum to compare the O/93 to the Perfect Set. I never got an answer but got accosted. Zero interest in being part of that "community" of charming open minded intellectuals. The arrogance around some brands is truly bizarre. 
2. I'm making arrangements to hear the CW's. My curiosity was piqued when some members that I've know and traded with began embracing this particular speaker. I wish it wasn't such a monster but at least they have a classic look that I can put a plant on or something like we did 20 years ago.
and D. Can dsper compare the CW to the GE? I'd imagine the CW to be more lively and textured but with less low end and smoothness? How am I doing? 

Good luck on your journey- always fun to get out and listen.
I've typically come to know that the people with strongest opinions about the best and worst in audio are the ones to run from. It means there is something very particular they value and have found and need to tell the world about it. I've found it's rarely of much interest or relevance to me. 

I remember a digital amp that was really hot a couple years ago. Guys were selling big tube systems, doing handstands, preaching about this amp. I bet less than 20 percent of them still own it today. I recall if someone didn't like the amp they were told it wasn't broken in- or they had the wrong power cable- or either didn't have it turned on all the time. I tried it and it was crap. Luckily it was returnable. 

The variety of gear and personal tastes never ceases to amaze me. I'm suspicious that there are investors that pop up in these forums. Almost like a nerd version of a social media influencer that tries to steer people.  Maybe like term limits, Audiogon should have post limits. I've seen little value from many of the high post types- some fun community for sure but less in the way of the knowledge that they should have. I suppose they post more than they listen.
