Tekton versus Klipsch

@jbhiller

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. 

@jjss49

got spatials recently, which are excellent but still not really proper flea watt amp candidates... ugh...

Interesting, I recently got a Clayton S-40 amplifier and have been very interested  the Spatial line of speakers. The 'new' Spatial M3 Sapphire will start  shipping in June.

Humble apologies to the OP for not exactly keeping with the subject matter. So little is written or known of the Spatial brand, especially the newer models. 

@tyray 

there is a spatial speakers subsection at audio circle - lots of info there

I currently own Tekton DI's and Viking Acoustic Grande Voix dual horn speakers.  The Viking are 98db and driven by a mono tube amp and pre-amp and a Lampi Pacific tube amp.  Send me a private email if you want my opinion on Tekton vs a Horn.  I do not want to publish on this general forum out of respect for each speaker maker.
