David - How does it compare?

I have a pair of Klipschorns in my office that I am very fond of and I anticipate someday retiring and not having those dedicated corners to pair up with the horns. So I wonder how close a pair of David’s would be to the experience of the Khorns. Anyone care to make the comparison from your experience?

I’ve no experience with either Khorns or Davids (although my speakers are Klipsch La Scalas with THTLPs and my name is David), but …
1) the David page
https://billfitzmaurice.info/David.html indicates that the David’s are less efficient that the Khorns (95 dB/1W@1m versus 105 dB/1W@1m for Khorn AK3s).
2) the David is considerably smaller than a Khorn (48x15x15 versus 53x31x28)
The two speakers are quite different.
