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,

I had both Double Impacts and Triton Ones. I have to say I enjoyed the Double Impacts more. If you move around the room a lot when you are listening they may not be the best. Kind of weird sound when walking around from the tweeter array. Was not ever a problem for me but worth noting. 
It would be a tough call if I was choosing between Tektons and the Cornwall 4. I’ve never heard the Klipsch but really want to! Love the look and they seem to hold their value very very well.

“Facten....You argue the fact there are a lot of Tekton speakers for sale?..but  my statement "they are junk,..poorly designed jinky cabinets with lousy bracing,big,butt ugly,loaded with cheap off the shelf drivers...all they do is go loud!.".....you say nothing about,lmao...I think that speaks for it self!!”

Nope they do more than go loud they sound very good and much better than most anything if not everything in their price range. They also have probably the highest raw parts cost to retail cost in the industry. Yes cabinets are not crazy high tech but are sufficient. They could make Magico bomb shelters for a small improvement with a triple cost maybe. 
@philbarone,

Did you listen to the Klipsch Forte before you bought them? Do you have them yet?

It's crazy how people hear things differently. I had the DIs and have since moved on but would not describe them how you did at all and quite liked them. I also think the "as good as 30k speakers" is overblown for sure. 

I would like to get my hands on the CW4 or possibly the Forte 4 at some point. 

What did you have before the DIs? Not fight picking just curious. I see you have them for sale on Audiogon! Too funny. May have wanted to wait till they sold to post the above.
