I auditioned both the Heresy IIIs and Forte IIIs at the same time and since I owned 2 subs already I figured I could control the bass more readily with the Heresy IIIs. Bought the Heresy IIIs, and really like ’em. Besides, they’re half the price of the Forte IIIs (you can buy a sub or two for the price difference between these models), and the smallish size turns out to be a cool thing. The Tektons seem interesting but are huge and I think sort of weird looking, but maybe a bargain at 3 grand...hard to audition those (although it could be hard to audition Klipsch depending on where you live) and if you don’t like ’em you have to pay the return shipping. It's really important to hear speakers before taking the plunge as I've learned to never trust anybody else's ears when it comes to speakers.
Tekton or Klipsch
I've got the upgrade bug and I'm looking for something a bit bigger than my KEF ls50s. Two speakers that really have my attention right now are Tekton Doulbe Impacts and Klipsch Forte III. Is anyone in an position to comment on how these speakers compare? I have never had the opportunity to hear any tektons but I have heard Klipsch heresey IIIs and really enjoyed that experience.
I loved the live sound of the heresy and I understand that only gets bigger and better with the forte. The overwhelmingly positive reviews for the Tektons definitely caught my attention, especially the way they are said to be able to play any type of music well which is probably my biggest complaint against my KEFs. I am ultimately looking for a bigger fuller sound that can both keep it classy and rock out. The kefs are classy but they most certainly do not rock.
