Tekton 6-10 Subwoofers: The Journey Starts Now!

@arcmania

40-200 hz

What range can the crossover be adjusted for?

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,

Craig

i’d be interested in your feedback. i saw, per your clx ad elsewhere, that you have these in-house now. there were a pair f/s on another site a while back that were quite tempting, but they were in canada, iirc. and i found your post here, searching "tekton" "6-10" on line...

as it turns out, i’m glad i waited, because i picked up a pair of megawoofered vmps lowboy style larger subwoofers; which i know are excellent - i have an original highboy style pair w/the upgrade megawoofers and they’re great. so now, i have 2 pairs, which are just what the dr ordered for my large listening space. the crazy thing is i got them for $200 for the pair, and i only had to drive 30 minutes e/w to get them!?!

but, i’d still like to hear feedback on your 6/10’s; the pic i saw w/them in your clx ad is the only reason i opened the ad! ;~)

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,

Still, The Tekton site lists it as 300 Watts, but it does show it is high in efficiency.

My JL-Audio F-113 subs have only one 13.5" woofer, and it is listed at 3000 watts short term.

Thanks! Genuinely excited. I have high hopes for these monsters 🥸

Your grannie was a smart lady! Here is to hoping they arrive soon and exceed expectations.

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! 😇

The ad copy refers to a 300-watt amp. Does it contain an amp and crossover?

Any update on delivery bounce hit?

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

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

Possibly the fact that multiple woofers get raised vertically off the floor.  Hope you enjoy your new subs!

They should hit the marks you are looking for. Only a bit bigger foot print and i doubt they will be tipping over. Had a pair of Kinergetics SW800 with five 10's. Should have never sold them. The 6-10's are in my future.

They will be in a dedicated room so should be safe from tipping risk!! 😇

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! 😀

Tekton seems to get a bad rap around here. I've not heard their 6-10 subs, but I have no doubt they work as intended.  I'd be more worried about accidentally tipping them over and causing a debacle than anything else. Enjoy.

Did Eric mention frequency response and cabinet size? Big increase in cost? 

Oh yes! Nice and deep 😇

Larger cabs? These will dig deeper me thinks.

Thanks! 500 WPC channel plate amps and larger cabinets 😃. BHBH

Looking forward to your impressions. Upgraded amps? External?
