Tekton speaker comparison thread
Hey all the purpose of this thread is for Tekton owners and those who have had/heard Tekton speakers to write their impressions on how they compared to other speakers they have owned (especially more expensive ones). Please refrain from flaming and aggression, just want to create friendly discussion that is focused specifically on comparisons (ideally in the same room and with the same electronics).
In the other tekton threads there is a lot of positive feedback but often I find there is no actual comparison so its hard to know where someone is coming from when they give their impressions.

Yes well it would be cool to compare. But when I think of how much work it is lugging 150+lb speakers, precisely positioning, then I think of the one guy whose opinion I trusted most saying don't bother (neither of us ever could figure out what is supposed to be so great about Wilson) then I pretty much lose interest. Andersteens were supposed to be so wonderful, and the ones I heard weren't even up to my less expensive Linaeums. Yet people rave and worship. Oh well. That's why they all manage to stay in business I guess. Horses for courses. |
I have a pair of the Ulfberhts that I am delighted with. They replaced a pair of Martin Logan Summits that in turn replaced a pair of Martin Logan Quest Z’s. The first time I heard a pair Martin Logan speakers was at a house party, I fell in love with their sound and I was determined to get a pair. I have had ML speakers for at least 15 years and my surround sound system is all ML including a pair of their 212 Balanced Force subs. In his Home Theater review of the Ulfberhts Terry London said “ they have the clarity, coherence and resolution of a large electrostatic design.” After owning electrostats for years ,I agree completely with this statement. My only regret with the purchase of these speakers was with the color I chose which is black. I should have spent a little more for a custom color. The reason I didn’t was due to the fact that you could not return custom color speakers if you didn’t like how they sounded . Hopefully ,they no longer have this policy. The Ulfberhts are the most revealing speakers I have ever owned and since I have purchased them ,I have made many changes to my electronics and cables and they immediately tell you if a change works or not. If there is anyone living in Central Maine who would like to hear them, I would be glad to demo them for you. One of my buddies has a pair of the SET’s which he really likes but is considering getting a pair of the Moabs. Another buddy is very interested in Tekton speakers after hearing mine. |
Not surprised. You are not the first lwin to say Tekton has the speed, clarity and coherence of ESL. There are quite a few comments out there just the same, including this one which the whole interview totally belongs on this thread: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RxRTFx6Cd0 Billy has Double Impacts and starts talking about them here https://youtu.be/7RxRTFx6Cd0?t=350 although really the whole interview is worth it if you are looking for perspective. This guy has a lot of perspective! |
