Tekton Speakers,Who owns them and what did you replace and why.

I was watching "Ask Paul" videos this morning where Paul McGowan takes questions from listeners and tries, as best he can, to respond to their queries.

One question asked how important driver material is to the resultant sound of a particular speaker design. I mention this on this thread because his response, in part, may explain why a speaker such as the Double Impact can sound as good as many of you attest that it does ( I have not had the pleasure as of yet to hear any Tektons!) As Tektons do not employ "exotic" driver materials yet reportedly yield very satisfying sound quality, I think Paul’s video posted here may be of interest to you. Paul has no dog in this "what makes a speaker high-end" debate as he is not a speaker designer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ILbjs37Dr8

skiroe,  The poly drivers you speak of were all the rage for a short period of time.  I remember auditioning speakers with such drivers and they seemed to have a "plasticy" sound to them.  Paul Mc was making the point that in his experience, regardless of driver material, as long as the speaker designer understood the limitations of the drivers and utilized them within their optimum frequency level that all would be good.

This seemed to me to be appropo to the Tektons as they appear to use very conventional paper cones for the midrange and bass.  Paul's opinion would seem to support  the claim of Tekton devotees as to the superb sound quality of their speakers.

I have personally gone the other way, buying into the efficacy of very sophisticated tight tolerance drivers uniting with  an excellently  executed crossover to deliver outstanding sound.

Which approach is "right"?  Maybe neither or both.  I would love to have the opportunity to hear the Double Impacts of similar Tekton model to hear where they truly fall, at least to my ears, in the pantheon of audiophile speakers.
