The recent discussion of speakers encouraged me to join, although I have notes on my desk for tube shopping, based upon everyone's efforts and thoughts.
I'd like to move the Vandersteens to another system, and bring in one of the more efficient offerings from Omega or Tekton. The room is 11 x 13, and the music is pretty diverse, although I do enjoy when a system does justice to both Bill Evans and Pink Floyd.
I have considered picking up the latest version of the Vandersteens, but there may be more interesting offerings that would pair well with Dennis Had's amps.

Welcome to the forum! This is just my humble opinion, and there are many more informed people here, who I'm sure will elaborate more on your question.
I can only say my Tekton Lore 2.0's are great! I also consider the Alnico Super Monitors from Omega, based on previous research at the time I decided on the Tektons, a great choice. I just was not sure if the 95 dB's sensitivity from the Alnico's would make my amp (at the time a 4 watt Decware Mini Torii, which I still own) sing. This point now seems moot, as there is evidence of very positive experiences with the Inspire Gear and the Alnicos here.
I would say, you will be satisfied either way. Check out the Tekton Owners Forum at AudioKarma, for further experiences on the Tekton range of speakers and compare that to the Omega followers here and at their website.
