Phil, I've never heard any Tekton speaker or a Klipsch Forte, but both are on my short list for a rec room system for music and movies (2 ch only, not HT). So this is all interesting.
Now lots of discussion here about placement and room setup. Did Tekton furnish recommendations when you received them? If not, have you ask for that? Similarly did the Fortes come with setup recommendations? From what little I know about either model I would guess their requirements could be quite different.
After all, setup can vary widely among different models. Break-in requirements too.
