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

Now obviously this thread has been started for the owners of any current model of Tekton speakers and if you haven't at least heard them keep your speculation to yourself.If you have heard or owned any current model and decided they aren't for you I would like to read your opinion as well.

This thread is intended for learning and furthering the enjoyment of music playback in our homes.

I own the Double Impacts myself and I will add bits of my story as this thread progresses,most of which has been posted in other threads,I want to hear from others.

Let her ripp,

Kenny.

My listening room is 20x25x9 and has a open kitchen on one side and the other side is open to the front door entryway and front bedroom.

I have no Idea what models would be at RMAF but I'm sure they would want to showcase their top models.You might call them and see,I'm sure other folks would like to know as well.

I had Tekton 6.5t monitors (like totems) on rigid yet minimal sound organization Linn stands in front of audio refinement separates and a modified rega RP6. I liked them better than Fritz carbon monitors and Ascend Sierra Towers. They imaged well with a nice bass kick 11" from the wall. My ProAc Studio 148s finally replaced the 6.5t monitors, which are up for sale.

Hi I am reading this thread with great interest.
I am living in Denmark and have just ordered a pair of DI. It was a very hard decision with many sleepless nights, no kidding. The price for getting them to Denmark is around $1100 and I has been asking the Tekton FB for DI owners in Denmark, Sweden and North Germany but with no luck.
Now I just has to wait and see if I have for $4500 speakers that I don't like.

I am listing to blues and classic music and this is the gear I am using
Marantz AV8805, 2 x Emotiva XPA-5 gen2 PS Audio Detect and some ok cables. Tidal is my source of music.

I had a pair of Goldenear Triton Two+ for a month. There where very good but I didn't like voices on them. Then I borrowed a pair of B&W 702 S2. Very sweet sounding voices and guitar are GREAT but the are missing the body of the music.

Now I just hope that the DI can do the job. Giving the bass foundation for reggae and big orchestra music and the intimite of a good blues recording.

Martin, make sure repost your thoughts after you get them. I am leaning towards going with the DI myself
