Tekton Double Impacts

Heind, how would you know? All the people with first had listening experience sure couldn’t know as much about what they sound like as someone who arbitrarily decided they can’t be any more than a fad? I’ve read about everything I could find on the internet about tektons myself. Almost all give high praise, and are detailed about what they are praising, and those details don’t seem radish at all. Also read where two professional reviewers for noted magazines made Tekton their reference speakers in their own systems. The negative reviews I have read were either by people who havnt even heard them, and went on to explain how and why they could not sound good, or by people who seem like their fixated against them for their design, or love for another brand that some have said the Tektons were better than, without giving details of what about the sound disappoints in the way that those who enjoy them seem to be able to give their reasons. I’m sure some people will prefer other speakers, as everyone has different preferences in sound, and i for one enjoy many different types, and try not to pigeon hole myself, just let my ears decide. 

213, I don’t believe anyone would have issue if less than positive was posted bout Tektons by someone who has actually spent time listening to them, and were not happy or found issue with what they heard. To speak negatively about them based on what others have said who also have never heard them, seems to be uninformed at best. The hugely vast majority of people who have heard them seem to believe they are some of the best speakers at a given price point. It’s hard for me to ignore that much positive feedback. I have yet to hear my uffers and will not be able to until after the current lockdown is over. I’m hoping to hear all the great things I read posted by real owners and listeners. If I don’t, then of course I will be disappointed, but would have no problems saying so, and saying what about them I am disappointed about. I would not agree with your assessment that if one of their speakers measures a certain way, that all likely would. 

As far as cosmetics go, that’s up to the individual. I know they’re not the prettiest and some wives wouldn’t accept them, and went part of my thinking process at all. As far as sound goes though, I would disagree with your views of assessing a speaker. . Basically your way is seems to say that the vast majority of people who have actually heard them, are incorrect in their praise of the quality of sound they are hearing. I’ve seen speakers that “ measured” well in someone’s view that most did not seem to care for that actually heard them in person, and then ones that supposedly didn’t measure well that sounded great, and just the opposite. As has been said over and over, let your ears decide. If both the measurements and the reviews are bad, then chances are good they’d be a waste of time to investigate.  There will never be a perfect speaker, I agree. And what’s perfect to me, won’t be perfect for everyone. But I will never say that a speaker sounds bad, or great,  to me if I have never heard it.
