Tekton Lore S or Salk Song Towers


I have no chance of hearing any of these speakers. Thinking about getting one or the other. The SongTowers i may get the ribbon tweeter. Now have a pair of Merlin TSMXe speakers. Will i be making a lateral move buy buying the Tekton or Salk. Thanks for any info. Listen to all kinds of music.

Based on the Salks I have heard (ST, Ht2-TL, SS 10), the Salk house sound runs to the cool, analytical, and detailed, rather than the warm and bloomy. If that is your bag, you could really like them; if it is not you might think them a bit dry, and respond more as Toddnkaya did. Salk is reputed to have excellent customer service, and the box work is lovely.

I don't know the Lore, but single driver speakers are a particular flavor, and I'd expect it to be a bigger change from what you have then the Salk, though moving from dome to ribbon could make a large difference.

This is just a guess, but I suspect either of these moves would be lateral, though either of the options might better suit your taste than what you have -- depending on what that taste is!

If warm is your thing, Salks may not be your bag.

Selah and Fritzspeakers both make excellent speakers at the Songtower pricepoint. Fritz runs his Carbon 7s with Modwright SS at shows, and I think they trend to warm.
