Astorey, there are many excellent speakers that will play any genre of music with aplomb. With 10K to spend you should have no problem but, none of us can listen for you. Speakers are really a personal issue. All I can do is tell you what I like. I encourage you to listen to as many types of speakers as you can including horns and planar speakers. Listen to some line source speakers. IMHO you are better off with one set of excellent speakers than three pairs of limited speakers.
Am I crazy? Definitely!
Hi All, my system is Rega RP6 with Exact cart> McIntosh MA5200> Sonus Faber Auditor M / Tannoy Precision 6.2LE / B&W Cdm7Se and REL Strata III. I have a Denon 3910 mainly for listening to SACDs from time to time. Have upgraded power cables and XLO and Van Den Hull ICs.
2 questions. Firstly, I am thinking of buying some Klipsch Heresy gen 1. All original. This would be for cranking all my Rock vinyl as none of the other speakers are really great at rock.
Secondly, I am thinking why don’t I just sell my speakers and get something that can do everything ( mainly listen to jazz, blues, prog, rock) and instead of rotating speakers in and out ( which I really enjoy) I can just be lazy and go with one set. Maybe Focal Kanta? Or something like that. About 10k hopefully used.
I’m quite attached to the RP6 and the Mc ( for now) so not interested in applying my upgraditis in this area.
Would appreciate your thoughts and ideas on both of these points.
Thanks.

The Klipsch heritage line is way more efficient than Tekton. I’ve heard several of the latest models and also Tekton. I would not own large Tektons personally due to aesthetics, though they sound OK if that is what appeals. Whatever you choose make sure that the speakers can be properly set up in the intended room for best performance, especially larger speakers. There is a reason smaller less efficient and more bass extended speaker designs are the most popular these days. These tend to be easier to set up properly and unobstrusively in people’s homes and good ones set up well with proper amplification sound excellent. |
Miller, you've hyped Moabs five times here already. Happy to let someone else hype them for a change. He does it way better anyway. https://youtu.be/7RxRTFx6Cd0?t=354 |
How any speaker works in your room with your gear is the journey. Picking stuff out of the blue is like walking into a pitch black room with three women in it and choosing a wife. You may get lucky and then you may get a divorce. The Heresy functions well for what it was designed as- a center channel speaker for corner horns. I love horns but that one is too small. Look at some older Altecs-the M500 if you can find them. I heard the Tekton Impact Monitors this past weekend at a local retailer. They are a standmount size and in the gray color the black circles did not bother me. They surprised me as being very enjoyable to listen to. Other models I had heard were the Double Impacts and the Lores. Both did nothing for me. Please keep us posted!! |
