Tekton or Klipsch
Since at least in theory every component in the string influences the sound... what might the Rothwells do?The Schitt Sys might be a viable option to moderate the 40 dB if gain as another option.  
Tone, Tone, Tone !
No doubt measurements have a value and a place....maybe they may get you to the right arena in the right city...but they probably won't get you to the right seat.  Why?  Because we all have individual preferences...we have different gear...we have... 
Tone, Tone, Tone !
@prof I agree with your last post and that the spendors have great tone... but put them in the wrong room or with the wrong equipment and they may not shine so well..... and my brain may hear and process what an acoustic guitar sounds like a littl...

Definitely agree you should consider resale... which is why some big 100# speaker will be an issue down the road as the buyer will expect you to factor the freight into your price. Also agree that you should try to hear your prospects...if at all ...

With your room size, I don't really see much of a need for "giant speakers".  For six years, I owned the Tekton Lores and had them in a much bigger room which required me to supplement the low end with a sub...otherwise, they were great speakers w... 
Buy a pair of ten year old $40,000 speakers for $4,000 or new ones at that price point?
From my perspective, there we very good loudspeakers made 10 years ago that easily compete with loudspeakers made today....BUT...how much risk are you willing to take.....Its likely that someone who bought a $40k speaker 10 years ago and is sellin...

I think a little more info from the OP would be helpful. How big is your room?  Beside the Rega, what other equipment are you using? How important is bass slam? How important is detail and nuance which the kefs have? How important is a big soundst... 
Brands that have the least depreciation

Has Anyone Heard the new version of the Tekton Impact yet?
One thing that would be great is if Tekton would provide more nuanced descriptions of their loudspeakers so that we could get a better of idea of what the Impact might sound like as compared, for example with the new Perfect Set 15 or updated Enzo. 
What equipment have you bought this year so far ?
Digital Audio Company 2Cherry Amplifier Salk Veracity ST Loudspeakers The level of detail and clarity provided by the 2Cherry and Salks have provided a nice step forward in musical realism. 
Mono Blocks on a Budget, is it possible?
If your loudspeakers are the original Legacy Classics...they are rated at 4 ohm and 92 db....which pretty much means that with 64 watts, you can easily produce 92 db 10' from the loudspeakers with plenty of headroom for peaks above 92 db.I owned t...

@ pawlowski6132  I've been to Troy Michigan...you have a great audio store nearby if I remember correctly....Audio Dimensions?Your profile says the LS50s are your current loudspeakers...and as you know, they need lots of good quality power to soun...
