I think the best way to put it is they are a "taste". The reason people like them for tubes is because they have a brighter top end. Now some vintage tube amps begin to roll off in just that range that the Klipsch are more forward in. Me personally - can't stand them. But like I said they are a taste.
I think a well balanced system should start with your amps and not need to be compensated for by your speakers.
Follow Ups:
I owned a pair of K-horns for several years. I listened to them full range briefly then disconnected the mid and high horns and used the bass bins along with my wide range and super tweeter horns. I found the mids and highs to be too harsh for my ears.
Another way to think of it is that Klipsch were designed in the early tube era and simply designed to the equipment in use at that time. Having said that their current bookshelf models are also aggressive in the treble. I wonder if it's a consequence of their high efficiency somehow.
It's never too late to turn back the clock.
Nice pics!
Infinity speakers would be a consideration as well.
