Tekton versus Klipsch

@mapman 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. 

The Fritz monitors have been on my radar as well. Seems to be almost universal postive comments.

What size room do you think they can fill? I have my rig on one end of a 32 X 22 foot room. This allows me to place the tweeters three feet from the front and sidewalls with another ten feet to the listening position. I have about twenty feet of open space behind me. I am thinking Fritz speakers would get lost, especially coming from Thiel CS5i's.

Thanks for listening,

Ozzy62....Yea your right as the all knowing Oz has spoken,

Fritz Carrera B's performed splendidly with a Modwright 300B HEADPHONE AMP.  That should tell you all you need to know w.r.t. their driveability with the kinds of amps you're looking at.  They also sounded great.

Hi,

I had a pair of GoldenEar 2+s. I didn’t particularly like the tone of the midrange and the powered bass was a bit distracting and not totally integrated into the sound. I would never go with a speaker that has a built in powered woofer again. I sold them and bought a pair of Tekton Electron SEs that are similar to the DIs but a bit shorter.

All in all, I do like the Electrons - very balanced sound, and as many have commented, any change you make upstream will be clearly heard. Also, the build quality and finish is outstanding (I purchased the standard finish and it looks great). I'm still looking for the perfect amp to drive them with that fits my budget - presently have a Willsenton R8 with EL34s... not bad, but not what I'm looking for. Think I'll try an Elkit 300b amp kit next.
