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,

First

This is not precise but close on what your experience from your system

Room = 40%
Speakers 40%
Equipment 20%

Second

if you have heard the klipsch Heritage speakers which are properly setup for the room they are in with its center sound stage and music dynamics and you are still looking for what you want. then Klipsch may not be for you.

I have a pair of 42 year old Klipsch La Scala’s that I bough out of a garage. These speakers were beaten up badly as they probably were bar room speakers of dance hall speakers. Basically they looked like  crap.

I brought them home hooked up my system:

Audrivana on a win 10 PC 16/44 Flack files
Minidsp SHD - XLR out to a Crown XLI 1500 and RCA out to a 20 year old Velodyne
Crown to la Scala’s
And YES Klipsch Heritage speakers needs a sub

There was a Wow moment, even my wife noticed it, as well as everyone else that hears them, for me they will be my last set of speakers

Everyone is different, every room is different, when it is right you will know it,

Good Luck and enjoy the music

Dire Straits, You and Your Friend is a great way to test the Klipsch Line for sound stage and dynamics
