Tekton 6-10 Subwoofers: The Journey Starts Now!


I had the pleasure of communicating with Mr. Tekton himself, Eric Alexander, last week and am now counting the days until the arrival of my slightly larger, over-powered (500 wpc!) Tekton 6-10 subwoofers!  

Eric was terrific, very patient, and helped me get all the answers I needed before placing  my order.  GREAT customer service.

So, the countdown begins.  :)  I plan on pairing the subs with Martin Logan CLX's, Nearfield Acoustics Model 15's, and the lovely Tune Audio Marvel.  I may slide in a pair of MG 20.7's while I am at it. 

I will share my experiences in this thread.

Happy New Year!

The price is slightly higher. The dimensions are 16x18x71. We didn’t discuss frequency response specifics but I’m looking for fast and accurate for 2 channel critical listening, not dinosaur stomps! 😀

Yes, I was motivated by my recollections of the incredibly fast and realistic bass from my IRS Beta towers! I do think there is something about a vertical stack of subs that makes the bass sound more natural or “real”. BHBH

Yes! There is a quality of "height" to bass so rendered that is different.  :)  And better. :)  BHBH

I am still patiently waiting, but my grandmother always said patience is a virtue! I also trust that good things come to those who wait! 😀

The plate amps for these monsters will be 500 WPC!! 

Please send positive thoughts! 😇

These were special ordered with larger cabinets and 500 WPC amps. I’m sure their peak output would be quite high.,😇

The subs are very efficient, so should not be an issue. I seek fast, coherent bass, in a large room and this is what Eric recommended.

Best,

Hey Doug!

I'm sorry, but somehow I missed your post last month!

Yes, the Tekton 6-10's are in the house and running in nicely.  The bass is precisely what I'd hoped for: tight, deep, and fast.  Organ music is a "whole body experience" with these things!  I've got them crossover around 65hz with my Pipedreams Model 15's.  The soundstage is ENORMOUS now (large room doesn't hurt on that front!)  

Best,
