Tekton Brisance


Hi audiogon,
The Tekton Brisance seems too good to be true coming with 18"woofer and two harmonic transducers with a DSP controlled 2500 watt included (probable class D) amp at $2,000. Any y'all hear this sub in person? I have a pair of Moabs on order and am thinking of getting a sub to fully flesh out abilities with electronica music.

Is there any speaker company pumping out as many models as Tekton?
Dunno if that's a good or a bad sign.

Sorry to have outraged you twoleftears ;-)

There are some companies who release new models very rarely, very carefully refining and refining, making sure they really made an advance, before releasing new models.  Which makes for a modest number of models they will sell.

Other companies pump out lots of different speakers, and *some* audiophiles worry somewhat about the spreading-oneself-too-thin factor, especially given the size of the typical audiophile speaker manufacturer.Tekton produces an enormous variety of speakers for such a small operation.  And we all know how many pixels have been spilled on Tekton issues in terms of quality control, customer satisfaction etc.

That's not to say the Tekton speakers aren't good.  I'd love to hear them.But it really stuck out the number of speaker designs being sold by Tekton and it seems like a new model comes out practically every few months



I chalk it up to the typical audiophile and his inability to understand anything, especially anything not being mindlessly repeated ad nauseum by other audiophiles.


Millercarbon, do you ever get tired of being "holier-than-thou"?

It must be quite a daily weight to bear,  being so much better than the "average audiophile" and still having to interact with them.
