Feel free to talk me off the ledge

"JUMP....JUMP"......

Sorry, someone had to.....

lol!

Thank you everyone, I can always count on each of you to give me opinions and suggestions that make me seriously think and explore. I have resolved to go another direction than the Klipsch. As pretty as they are, and as dynamic as they are, I feel some fatigue while listening. I am going to do my legwork, take my time. ProAc, Volti, Golden Ear, Paradigm Founder, and Vandersteen are on my list, as are the Tyler Time Keepers. What I think did it for me was I swapped in my old TDL compact monitors. While not nearly as dynamic, and loud as the Heresy's, they were kinder and sweeter to my ears. Perhaps it's my age, but peeling back my earlobes isn't as fun as it was. 

Ah the rabbit hole, most of us are in it at some point. 
I was an audiophile in the late 70’s and 80’s, then life got busy and eventually I put my dahlquist DQ-10’s in a closet because they were “too big” per the wife. 
forward to present day setting up a listening room (that was my sons bedroom!), and I broke out the DQ-10’s, still sounding amazing. 
but I got to thinking about options and a smaller footprint.  
made the mistake of listening to a pair of Martin Logan ElectroMotion ESL’s (hybrid electrostatics), and it was all over!  And down the rabbit hole I dove…simply amazing sound o can’t get enough of!

About speakers being most important: it depends. 

For years I upgraded electronics while keeping the same speakers. When I finally got some loose change, upgraded the speakers by an order of magnitude and at last discovered how just good my amp and preamp had really been all along.

The old electronics, however, couldn't handle post-CD digital. So when these were traded for contemporary equipment, the tables were turned and the speakers again became the weak link -- I was right back where I had started, albeit on a higher plane.

Now, $12k later, everything is in balance and to date I'm resisting the urge to upgrade further. Powerful temptations aside, for me the present is the logical time to pull the escape cord from the rabbit hole. Famous last words, I know.

OP,

Just a thought… “fatiguing” doesn’t usually come from speakers, although it can exacerbate it. It usually comes from the electronics in the form of high frequency hash and distortion. It takes a lot of experience to really put your finger on it… but fatigue is the sign. Your Rogue equipment is not known for it… so, I would look at your source. If it is supplying the high frequency problem then it’s going to come out the speakers. If your room is not heavily sonically dampened then that will make it worst.

Can you borrow a real high quality streamer or CD Player . Try some dampening material in the walls behind… carpet in front of speakers. I would verify this is not you problem before proceeding.
