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

  What do you love,junk cabinets with no bracing..cheap finish,,cheap drivers hence you wanting to replace them,ooh did you look at the crossovers...please tell us what you love!
So true..the other post where the owner of Tekton was threatening and trying to intimidate members was removed.
"Erik can report any post or thread Audiogon makes the decision not Him. So that’s fair".....one would think but the way i read it was an owner of a speaker company jumped into an open discussion on this forum,threatened members and tried to use intimidation to stop the duscussion...more than once...It wasnt till it was obvious it was going very bad for the owner of this company that site moderators jumped in and deleted the entire post....he was asked by me and others several times about their testing and said owner avoided responding but continue to try to throw his weight around....so your correct he had the right to submit a report...but in my opinion it showed me exactly what i already suspected...
"It was the legal threat where Tekton really blundered, imo. For all the braying and boasting Tekton's products get here, its owner turned vicious once questions and criticisms were raised."....For me it was his refussal to answer direct and simple questions...testing methods as stereophile got much lower sensitivity numbers and to give a list of 50k to 100k speakers they conpared their speakers to.
I bought for replacement, I stick on the same tweeters, I bought six, my technicians upon looking at the tweeters said the tweeters don’t have rooms for heat, why the the voice coil burn ,I remember playing them 6 hrs straight that day, volume on the 10........the tweeters,dont have room for heat?..you think that goes back to the point the tekton cabinets are junk or at  best poorly designed which is ecactly what i saw when opened up ....and if playing a speaker loud for hours causes failure, from heat and poorly designed cabinets who would want them?.....
Audiophiles are still buying them , so it means they like them, they even wait for months......i disagree,true auduophiles are not buying them...or what i think of when someone says auduophile ... we have a different meaning of the word audiophile i guess
Your definition is based on the premise, ownership is the qualifier to be an audiophiler.

NOTHING could be more incorrect..

Basic audiophile 101. Grade = failure. Recommendation, TWO ears TWO eyes, ONE mouth.

Shut the mouth
Read the definition
Listen to others

You have to know what something is, before you make an assumption what it is NOT.

I own a Victrola, it is as much a part of MY audiophile journey as reading these forums.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
My definition?...i dont belueve i gave my definition,maybe take your own advise..starting with shut up
Jayctoy...Im not putting you down or trying to disrespect you.I dont consider myself an audiophile,at least not anymore.....but if buying speakers that require redoing the crossovers,changing drivers,adding bracing being an audiophile id say no..i call that stupid and or foolish.I see buying Tekton and "the pursuit of the best audio reproduction one can obtain" an oxymoron. Tekton just doesnt have that ability..in my opinion only.
