Klipsch speaker choices


Hello,
First post here but long time 2 channel guy. 

I currently have a system with Klipsch RF3 speakers and a crossover with stereo subs.  Sound is good but I think the highs and mids are still a bit edgy.  Bought a Schiit Aegir with passive preamp and see vast improvement.  All my interconnects and speaker wire have also been upgraded. I just listened to the RF7 iii but very briefly.  Initial impression is it was more laid back but I am wondering how that speaker sounds vs the Heritage box speakers.  I will probably listen to the Heresy 4 first but wondering if there is a difference in sound between the tower and the box speakers. 

I also have read about the Tekton speakers but am hesitant since I can't listen to them.  It is all over the place opinion wise about the Tektons.  The Klipsch Heresy are within driving distance for an audition.  They will have several models to listen to if I talk myself into going further up the cost ladder.  Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Listen to listen to the Klipsch Forte iii I think you will be pleasantly surprised at what you hear. 

There is something about that Klipsch sound. It just takes you there and captivates you to stay and listen! Own Klipsch Forte iii and RP-160m. LLK. 
Klipsch offer a unique sound as do many speaker brands. I have listened to many a speaker brand over the years and have enjoyed the differences in sound reproduction. Klipsch Heritage excite the listening experience to a more live and visceral sound reproduction. This sound is not for everyone, but if you like the sound of a live performance and the immediacy of it than I would say get you some Klipsch Heritage speakers. Yes they have somewhat of an old school sound, perhaps that's why in my 52 years in this hobby I go back to Klipsch every time. There is a reason this brand has been around for so long they continue to evolve their basic principles of sound reproduction.
