it was advertised as better than any audio show.
No, it was reviewed as better. Reading comprehension. Again.
TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS
I ove this speakers , on my set up they sound really very dynamic and easy to listen. Is there anyway to replace their tweeters to improve them? I do love the design of the impact.Thanks

No, it is not sarcasm. It is just hilarious how off base these clowns are. I am real reluctant to say anything negative about Rick after the way he helped me with crossovers and springs and stuff. But the shill crap thrown at me is just too much. The truth is I have zero financial interest in Tekton. Eric gave me not one cent discount. Not even on the crossover. And don't think I didn't try! He also did not do any of the crossover upgrades I wanted but instead gave me only the standard option upgrades same as anyone else. On top of all that I had to wait twice as long as originally promised. I don't use words like clown sarcastically. These people literally are clowns, at least in how clownishly inept their perception of reality is. Now Rick on the other hand, the speakers he brought are built under license and he hopes to build them under license. So he does have a financial interest. I could say more but that is plenty enough to prove the clowns truly are clowns. Dim ones too. All a guy has to do is talk like they like to hear, and they lap it up and swill it down and pat themselves on the back. Well har de har, har. You been duped. Hook, line, and sinker. |

To be honest, a lot of the negativity around Tekton has to do with the product itself. From top to bottom they are so much better dollar for dollar than anything else, which means almost everyone else is stuck listening to overpriced crap, and this chafes. Also the technology is advanced and different enough it is hard to understand. This makes some people even more frustrated. Basically, they have nowhere to go. Stuck in the past, unable even to reply coherently because they don't get what's going on, they are left with nothing but childish insults. This all stems from a fundamental misunderstanding: audio is not a zero sum game. My speakers being good does not make yours bad. My $4k speakers sounding great does not negate enjoying your $30k. Don't put them side by side and you will be fine. Just please lay off the name calling. Makes you sound a bit butt-hurt, you know? |
Porsche > Lamborghini just for the record. Far greater racing heritage, history, number of fantastic cars produced. You can take a GT3 to the track and beat on it all day, no so with a lambo. Lambo only became a decent car when it became german. Look up One time a guy is showing me his awesome Lambo engine, pointing out all the great features. Look at this! They have a spare throttle cable already installed! Sure enough. So why don't they just make the one cable so it doesn't break? Nevermind. lol! I used to be a regular at Squire's Autowerke. PCA President, Squire liked me. So many hours studying cars from the underside, engine parts, brakes, all of it. Not only Porsche. They got their share of Ferrari, et al in there. The other cars, once you get used to Porsche level design, they are just not there. Every 10 years Ferrari makes their statement car, supposed to be not only the best Ferrari can do, but the best the world can do. The F40 was the last one I saw. Relative to Porsche it looked like the work of some SoCal hot rodder. I am not kidding. One day the owner hits the wall, and it was big news, because the car went up in a fireball so intense the magnesium wheels burned a crater in the track. You might think what a horrific crash. But the truth is the car barely grazed the wall. Ferrari used a fuel tank instead of a fuel cell. Then they welded the aluminum filler to the aluminum tank. No hose, no strain relief. So any old 15mph collision of this critical part would rip a hole spilling fuel all over the place. Within hours- literally hours - of this event we heard about it down at Laguna Seca, where we were for the Historics. By the time we heard we also knew there was not a single fuel cell to be had on the West Coast. All the Ferrari guys heard the horror story and snapped them all up. Lambo, Ferrari, whatever. You can have em. They are not Porsche. Not even. |
Swapping drivers is the easy drop-in route. Ultimately however all that can do is add a bit of sparkle. The much harder but far more satisfying route is to upgrade some or all of the crossover components. As long as you are careful to use only same electrical value parts and only upgrade the parts quality this will have zero risk of fundamentally altering the character of the speaker but will elevate it tremendously with far greater dynamics, detail, and extension. Ultimately however I am with sbayne on this one, the best upgrade money you can spend will be on a new pair of Moabs. Eric with his low stiction low mass approach has the currently best speaker design philosophy, but this only reaches full fruition with the full MTM array. That is what makes Moab the #1 bargain in high end speakers. If you are interested in doing a full crossover upgrade please check out the pics on my system page, where you will find detailed images of exactly what it involves. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 |
