Tekton versus Klipsch


Hi, 

I am exploring tube amp friendly speakers.

I have listened to Cornwall 4's and Goldenear 2's.

Can anyone share how the sound of the Tektons, say Double Impacts, would compare to the other two brands?

Thanks for listening,

Gotta feed the animals or they get belligerent.

Going to let this one fester for a bit.
Interesting comparing a speaker company that started in 2006 with the holy grail of Swiss Watch makers that has been in business since 1839!      
Having not heard the current versions of Tektons it would be foolish of me to speculate. Just as it's foolish for MC to make the comments he did. You can't dismiss out of hand a loudspeaker you have never been in the same room with.

That said, I did own Pendragons many years ago. I know they aren't the same as current offerings, but I thought they were just ok. A competent 2K loudspeaker, but no giant killers.

And as for @tubebuffer, this gent has trouble stringing together coherent sentences, so grain of salt here.

The Cornwall IV is a great loudspeaker. No denying that. And it pushes my buttons like few have. Is it better than a Moab? Can't say. But I would find it difficult to believe it's not at least competitive.

I like the Cornwall's sound-dynamic, musically engaging, full (not thin in the upper-bass) and good at lower volume levels.  Like many horn systems, it has a certain tonal qualities and some roughness in its frequency balance that one either loves or hates (I am more in the "love" camp.

The Double Impacts I heard had a much more modern sound--even frequency response.  But, unlike many modern speakers, it did not seem dynamically flat and unengaging and it did not go completely dead at lower volume levels  In that sense it was much more like better high efficiency/horn systems.  It may not have as much of those charming qualities as the best high efficiency/horn systems, but, it is very good nonetheless and it has fewer of the tonal anomalies that can plague high efficiency systems.  It is a very good all around system and it is quite a bargain at its price point.  

In short, the Cornwall is more toward the you either love or hate kind of sound, the Double Impact is more balanced (I don't see too many people hating its sound).
