Is there actually a difference?
This specific subject has been discussed and debated here, and everywhere. I know my systems, I know my music, and I trust my ears. Taking 1 piece out and replacing it with another piece, whether it is an amplifier, or an interconnect, I hear diff... 
Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre?
Klipschorns, with updated crossovers and other tweaks, such as horn damping and additional cabinet bracing ( and of course, 2 excellent and similar corners ), are very hard to beat, and, especially at the prices they are going for. The simple fact...

Might not need subs with the Tekton DI, although he does have one. Many Tekton DI users, based on my readings, do not use subs. It has been my experience that a pair of subs, in most rooms, benefit greatly over a single sub, and in much larger roo...

Hard to sell my Klipsch Heritage Speakers for a possible Harbeth upgrade.
@analogluvr thank you sir. @mindlessminion, at least you determined which you prefer between the 3 pair of Klipsch. Dampen the horns of the Chorus, if those will be the ones to keep. I have bought and sold so much in my lifetime, I would never tel...

Hard to sell my Klipsch Heritage Speakers for a possible Harbeth upgrade.
To the OP, try to get a listen to the Harbeths, or any model of similarity. As already mentioned, they are quite different. As a listener, as Charles so elequantly stated, you need to determine what it is YOU want, in a system. I have heard many s...
