Tekton First Time Buyer Prospect Seeking Advise from Tekton Owners


I am looking at trying out for the first time the Tekton speakers by getting the Mini-Lore Monitors

Questions:

  1.  Should I get the basic configuration withOUT any upgrades?
  2.  Should I get the tweeter upgrade only?
  3.  Should I get the upgrade package only? (upgrade internal wiring, bindings posts and cross over)
  4.  Should I get both the tweeter and the upgrade package?

I am asking because I am not sure how much improvement I would get with the upgrades. I am trying to assess if the upgrades are worth it based on Tekton owner experience.


Thank you.

:-)  Thanks. Like 1 hour ago, I have just asked Tekton via email about the later-on upgrade of the tweeters. I was also thinking that maybe the  beryllium tweeters  could be too bright for me, but no way of knowing until I try them. I am using a Wyred4Sound ST-500 power amp. My usual budget for gear items is about $1,500 maximum, but if I do not have to use it all, I do not want to, :-).

I was just reaching by asking, any advise or comments from tekton owners is information that I did not have before, hence it helps no matter what. 

Thanks for the comments! 
Great advise. :-)

I only have room for monitors; I use a subwoofer and I like the 2.1 set up. My plan is to start with the Mini-Lore Monitors then try out the Dynamites or the Impact Monitors, but those are $500 more than I would like to spend.    

I have found out by trial an error that I do not like warm speakers. I have auditioned the ELAC Uni-Fi UB5 (first gen), Wharfedale Diamond 10.1, Revel M16, Vienna Acoustics Bach and the Polk Legend L100 and they were to veiled for me. Then I have listened to the Dali Zensor 1, Emotiva B1, and Klipsch Reference Premier towers  and they were too bright for music. I have the Bryston Mini A and the Monitor Audio Silver Rx-1 and they sound neutral to me. But I want to try out the Tektons. In RMAF 2019, I listen to them, but did not pay attention; they did not sound bad at all. I keep reading about them and the people that rave about them, etc.

Thanks again!!!
