Never heard the Tekton DIs. Very popular. I have been a Klipsch " Heritage " fan boy for 50 years. I can hear, through Klipsch, differences in fuses, so I feel they have detail and convey nuance. Kefs with a pair of subs will not give you the dynamics of either the Klipsch or the Tekton, so if you are looking for that jump factor, that is not the Kef's forte ( no pun intended ). I own several pair of Klipsch models ( all Heritage, which now includes the Fortes as a Heritage model ). My mains are a pair of Lascala, with upgrades, modifications and tweaks, which are just fabulous to me, and play everything extremely well. I do have a pair of subwoofers for the last octave, and I run the Lascalas full range, as I prefer them that way, and this is with any of my amplifiers. It is important to note, that everybody here, making recommendations, are in a way, correct, as it is easy to recommend what " is liked " by that individual. Ordering the DI, it is likely you will like them, but if for any reason they do not work for you, you will be out only the return shipping charge back to Tekton, which in this industry, is very reasonable. They must be sent back, as new, without fingerprints, properly packaged, or else, you will be hit with a surcharge, and this is from folks I know who have sent them back ( just a few ). As far as horns, you either love them, or not. I have favored them for as long as I stated, and Klipsch are a very inexpensive way to get into horns, with improvements available for pennies on the dollar, to get them. Every speaker can be improved upon, so I am stating Klipsch are easy. Still best to listen before purchase, if at all possible. Anyway, I hope my babble has helped a bit. Enjoy ! MrD.
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.
