Klipsch, high end?


I often hear statements regarding Klipsch speakers as being a very good speaker for use with low powered, mass market receivers. Does this make Klipsch a "cheap" or low quality speaker? In other words, How well would Klipsch (specifically the KLF-30,RF-3 or RP-5)Hold up in a high end system of multiple Bryston amps and a Proceed AVP? I was considering one of these Klipsch models and was wondering if they would be up to the task.

La Scalas in particular seem particularly finicky. However I heard an apparently well set up pair (latest and greatest I think) at Capital Audiofest last year and the sound was particularly sharp, dynamic and captivating. Wish I could have spent more time in that room. I was expecting fatigue but did not happen at least in the ten minutes or so spent listening to whatever was playing.  Plus they are industrial works of art worth owning for that alone  IMHO regardless of how they sound.
Comments on Klipsch always seem to be all over the map.

Has anyone actually compared  modern Klipsch models to comparable Legacy models  on a good system designed to sound good?   

I like that there are smaller monitors available in the newer line.   How do these compare to say Heresy III or Forte III?   

I like the Forte IIIs sound very much  but not the size and bulk.
