Tekton versus Klipsch

Hi, 

I am exploring tube amp friendly speakers.

I have listened to Cornwall 4's and Goldenear 2's.

Can anyone share how the sound of the Tektons, say Double Impacts, would compare to the other two brands?

Thanks for listening,

Dsper

Consider Fritz Carerra or similar.  Very  tube amp friendly, cost effective, and easy to drive!

I could care less about Tekton, but stating " tons of Tekton up for sale going no where" seems a bit of an exaggeration - 6 pairs listed on USAudioMart - one pair listed 5 days ago; 3 pairs listed in April; 1 in March and 1 in January. Overall on USAudioMart there’s 846 pair of floorstanders ; 430 pairs of "bookshelf; 47 pairs of planars listed for sale.

Klipsch !   My new Forte IV kick ass !    Cornwalls kick serious ass.    Tekton speakers are hideous looking.  Their designs look like prototypes rather than a finished product.   Plus who in their right mind markets a 2 Ohm speaker?

I’ve done a lot of research on what speakers I would use were I to tackle a tube amp in the last few years. Have pretty much narrowed it down to Klipsch Heritage or Fritz, not sure which yet for sure. Would depend on budget,  which room, and suitability to get set up properly in there.
