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,

OK let's head out into left field.  I own a pair of factory custom rosewood Klipsch Heresys. They are very neutral sounding but not very engaging and surprisingly they need a little power to get jumping. So even though they have a high efficiency rating they still need a little power to sound their best. With low volume settings the balance drops away. 
My favorite tube driven loudspeaker has been the Triangle loudspeaker line. A very easy load. I have owned the Celius and now the Antals. I kick myself for letting the Celius slip through my fingers and I have repeatedly tried to buy them back from my buddy. Hard to find but great with tubes.

Nice first post Phil. There is a place here for that. Guess what. This ain’t it.......


I own Tekton Encore and Klipsch Forte III loudspeakers. I find them both great speakers. That said, the Encores are in another league. 
Cornwall IV owner here. 

I'd be super curious to hear a Tekton product.  Boy, do they spark up hot debate.  It seems one thing that might be a downside to them is build quality and construction.  That said, the cost of admission is pretty reasonable. I'll hold my subjective views on their looks aside, as they are just that--subjective. 

As to the CW IV,  this is not a squawky/shouty/shrill horn speaker. It must, however, be paired with the right source and amplification to hear their capabilities.  

Unfortunately, the CW IV is a bit cumbersome to just try out in the home.  Even though dealers allow 30-60 days trials, getting them back to the dealer if you do not like them is more expensive given their size. 

Folks above are exactly right about the CW IVs amazing dynamics.  It can be startling at first.  Just as important to note is the size of the musical image they cast--with the right recordings they sound simply huge, delicate and delicious--those are qualities I had trouble getting with systems running smaller drivers.  There really is something special about what those large drivers do, giving you big, full bodied but not bloated sound. 

And, folks are right, these are not bass mongers.  They do have tuneful, lifelike bass.  I do use an REL T9i to round out that lower octave.

Having this in my room has given me shivers and smiles during late night listening.
