Tekton versus Klipsch

I might have already commented on this so forgive me if this is a repeat. I'm so grossly disappointed by my Double Impacts it's pitiful and I've tried everything imaginable to get them to work.  My amp is a PrimaLuna EVO 300.  

I'm a musician (Local 802) and made hand-made mouthpieces for some of the greatest sax players who ever lived for almost forty years, am fairly respected and let me tell you, these speakers suck and if you believe people like Steve Guttenberg who gets all kinds of perks from the audio companies then you might want to reassess your source of information because ALL those guys get something in return for their reviews.  Several of these guys said that the DI's are as good as speakers costing 30K!  Do you believe that? 

When I called Tekton to ask for help, Eric Alexander was rude to me before I could even get a work in and told me to return them but ALAS, it costs $385.00 to return EACH speaker! So, in reality, if they cost that much to send them to me then they're really only a $2300 speaker.  So I'm dumping them and have already bought a pair of Klipsch Forte 4's.  If you can't audition a speaker, then don't buy it. 

@philbarone,  I owned Forte IIIs and upgraded to CW IVs.  I haven't heard the Forte IVs, but if they sound better than the IIIs you are in for a huge treat. 

@philbarone,

You aren't doing your ad any good with posts like that. Prospective buyers do read these forums. But good on you for being honest in the forum, even if your ad is less so.

I'll resist the urge to say too much as this isn't the thread for it.  But, if anyone wants to hear a great amp under $3k, the Crimson is it.  

jjss49, didn't you try the Crimson too?  I thought you did a quick review that was spot on--or I'm losing it!

yes indeed, i still have mine, it is part of the rotation so to speak

@philbarone,

Did you listen to the Klipsch Forte before you bought them? Do you have them yet?

It's crazy how people hear things differently. I had the DIs and have since moved on but would not describe them how you did at all and quite liked them. I also think the "as good as 30k speakers" is overblown for sure. 

I would like to get my hands on the CW4 or possibly the Forte 4 at some point. 

What did you have before the DIs? Not fight picking just curious. I see you have them for sale on Audiogon! Too funny. May have wanted to wait till they sold to post the above.
