I guess if it sounds better to you it IS better but... if you go that route, maybe you should go used.
As an avid audiophile I've had quite a few speakers. I haven't heard any Klipsche for about 10 years but if they are the same as they used to be, they are very efficient and work well in a large room with modest power. I had a pair of Klipsche Fortes long ago and they sounded good at first but it got old and they did not mate well with the small strangely shaped room I had.
If you want to go Kilpsche go used. There are probably lots of them on audiogon or ebay that most men are selling after getting married. They have a low WAF because of their size. I have a friend who cannot get rid of his Klipsche Forte II speakers. They're not bad, but not for me.
As a point of reference, the last pair of speakers I bought were Revel F30s which cost about $4K. They're as nice as a minimonitor but with very articulate and deep bass. I'm actually using a set of DIY speakers because my wife doesn't want the big Revels in the room with the kids. The DIY are nice (been doing it for almost 30 years) but they do not compare to the Revel.
Another point is that if you are buying speaker after speaker and not getting the sound you want then perhaps you need better electronics.
