Tekton or Klipsch
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
What is low depreciation?  If an item is 5 years or newer and sells for 60%.... or 6-10 years and sells for 50%... or 10-20 years and sells for 40%... would these items be considered low depreciation....what do you think... what might define “low”? 
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... 
Paul McGowan's (PS Audio) autobiography -- "99% True" now available for $4.99 on Kindle
downloaded it yesterday....3 books in the cue...looks like I may have to move it up to the top of the pile. 
What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard?
Every time I've "upgraded" amplifiers, the goal was to improve the overall sound.  Sometimes the upgrade worked, sometimes, not so much.  My current amplifier (2Cherry by Digital Amplifier Company) is the best I've had in my system yet...it has ad... 
spatial audio m3 or tekton perfect set
timrvtWhat is it you are hoping to improve.......there is no doubt that the Zu sounds musically alive from a dynamic standpoint...but maybe not so musically accurate from a tone standpoint.By way of example....these are unbelievably musical loudsp... 
What is a lowball offer? How low is low?
 I'm not sure the statement that no one pays retail is accurate....I'd be interested in hearing from some people who have purchased products from companies like Tekton, Salk, Modwright, PSAudio, Ascend, Rythmik and some of the more well known int... 
What is a lowball offer? How low is low?
@elizabeth i more or less feel that audio has become like many other products... bring out new models every few years and hype them as though they are better... even if they are not... Many new products are better... some are not. I’ve offered pro... 
What is a lowball offer? How low is low?
Another situation is where a replacement model is more expensive... example... item A is $100 new and the “updated version” has jumped to $125....item A may now sell for 60-70% used because the replacement is more expensive. One one final thought ... 
What is a lowball offer? How low is low?
I think that "low" is a relative term....if a generally well thought of piece is being offered for 50-60% of its retail value...that offer price seems reasonable and a counter offer for 50% is probably lowball and won't be taken seriously.If the p... 
Diffusion vs. Sound Absorption views
Conventionally, diffusion improves perceived ambiance while absorption improves imaging. I suspect that the answer is somewhat dependent on the distance from the rear of the OB loudspeaker to the rear wall.  Why, if the speaker is too close, the...
