Tekton versus Klipsch

@larryi are you referring to the CW IV or earlier versions?

I've heard the current as well as a much earlier version.  I liked both.  The settings were different, so it is hard to make a comparison.

I am not a bass freak so it does not bother me that the Cornwalls do not do ultra deep and tight bass (I tend to like bass that is not has tight as is the case with most modern speakers).

I’ve heard a lot of Klipsch and could live with many models. Have almost pulled the trigger on many occasions. Also classy looks...not for everyone but nice!

Limited exposure to Tekton, but not likely to buy. Not crazy about big boxes with lots of drivers.

Big boxes also are a hindrance for me with Klipsch. I’d prefer to downsize. Very efficient Class D amps have helped keep me clear of larger speakers these days in that it is easier to get more out of smaller boxes. But.....

I’ve liked the small Goldenear Aon monitors when heard but have not yet taken to the Triton line in limited exposure.   Possibly bad setups.

Hi @dsper,
I believe that your interest in tube amplifiers and higher efficiency speakers is a good direction to pursue. With this category of speakers it allows you to focus on the all important "quality " of the tube amp and not be overly obsessed with the wattage it provides.

larryi in my opinion offered a very good assessment of the Tekton Double Impacts that closely match my listening impressions. I heard them in a friend’s audio system driven by his Linear Tube Audio amplifier and my 300b SET mono blocks. I find them to be solidly ’Good' sounding but not ’great'  sounding. Certainly competitive in their price range.

I disagree with the comments suggesting they’re outstanding and trounce the competition . I disagree with the comments that say they’re junk. Hyperbole in both cases.

My friend really enjoyed the Double Impacts for a few years. He now has Omega speakers which he prefers due to (In his opinion) better midrange and more refinement. He acknowledged the Double Impacts have deeper bass with more impact. For his taste the Omegas were better overall. So Cornwall IV, Double Impacts or possibly Omgas, all worth consideration.
Best of luck,
Charles
