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.

It all boils down to what you the OP like not what someone else likes. You are already pleased with Klipsch and the Forte is a big jump up over the Heresy in every way. There are also KPT-396's which are a ton more speaker and you can get B grade with infintesimal defects new for the same price as a Forte III. You can get used Chorus speakers. But most importantly why don't you go and listen to what all these people are touting before you buy so you can make an educated purchase and not get snookered into famous name expensive gear.

  Parts are available for Klipsch for decades because many tens of thousands of people get these and they keep them and if they are ever sold have ready buyers. There is a huge technical base out there to benefit from and the speakers are not so stupid expensive that you have to be afraid to tinker with them.

 
My advice would be to go with the company that has been around for decades and has an established dealer network. More importantly, if you ever decide to sell them you will find a market for them. Certainly, there are speakers that are cheaper, but cheaper isn't always better. You find that out when you try to sell them. As hard as it is to imagine now, you should always think about resale value.
Definitely agree you should consider resale... which is why some big 100# speaker will be an issue down the road as the buyer will expect you to factor the freight into your price. 


Also agree that you should try to hear your prospects...if at all possible. 
Hmm this info on the gain is interesting. Even now with the Kef’s i rarely go past 9 o’clock position. Sometimes maybe 10
when I’m listening to vinyl.
Magico,
As Al noted, your Rega Brio amp provides 40 db of gain which is very high re)active to many other amplifers. I’d bet that your Tube Cube amplifier gain output is likely in the range of roughly 25 db. This would be a much more suitable/flexible match for the higher sensitivity speakers you are interested in. Excessive gain offers no meaningful benefit.
