Tekton versus Klipsch

missioncoonery

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.

I don’t think you can go wrong with the speakers from either company but I would try to audition before buying. For Tekton speakers this might be an issue as they are dealer direct. I would consider doing another posting to see if anyone near you owns the speakers you are interested in and let you listen to them although for Klipsch if you are lucky there may be a dealer near you.

I'm driving the Fortes with a 40 w pair of Quicksilver amps and it is a great combo. ...  Cornwalls are even more efficient .   I heard Cornwall IV with the Luxman 10 watt integrated and it sounded awesome.   If I had the space I would have bought Cornwalls but I am loving these Forte
