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.

I had some Chorus 2 upgrade with Crites tweets and crossover for a minute. They were good with tubes but could not keep up with fast paced music and sounded kinda harsh when played loud. I have not heard the Forte 3 so could be totally different.
The Double Impact are the Best Rock/ Metal speaker I have heard by a mile. Nothing phases them and they dont hey harsh. Even sound good on Metalcore stuff like Pig Destroyer. They are warm but extremely detailed.

I'm driven by dynamics thus Klipsch.  Note that besides my horn systems I do have a pair of Tekton PS-15's and find them very good.

I'm going with the Tekton double impact monitors, for a 16x24 room that should be plenty especially with a good musical sub. No need for the 4' high version IMHO
they are getting rave reviews as being powerful and accurate sounding, good for everything from Metal to Mozart, check back in a week or two and I'll be able to give you my personal review
