Those that upgraded from Tekton


What did you move on to?

 

I think it’s time I move on from my DIs, I really like how they sound but they are just too big and opposing for my room. Would be interested in something front ported as I have a room that is wide but not deep (speakers are 8 ft away from listening position and only 1 ft from back wall).

Was thinking Cornwall IV maybe or something from Salk but those might not be an upgrade from the DI.

Up to $5k budget and prefer used. Powered by Line Magnetic LM805i

And please don’t come here just to talk crap about Tekton……….

Tannoy legacy eaton can still be had for $5500 new. Front ported, and available @ upsscale audio. I am certain that they will not stay at that price very long, as everything is going up. I’m shocked the price on them in the US has not gone up yet, as they have in Europe/UK. Yes, they are big, in fact huge standmounters, but not ugly like, well, you know....
 

Nice idea. I was researching used Stirlings earlier today.

What were they opposing?

your lack of a helpful comment. 
 

typed on my phone, meant imposing. 
 

@danager Totally familiar with the size of cornwalls, used to own OG cornwalls, they are big but they are short and wide, the Tetons are very tall!!!!

Khorns wouldn’t work in my room. 

Not sure if I can provide enough space behind the speaker for the Forte. Having that big radiating woofer in the back might not work well for my room.

^^^^^The Volti Razz sound really good in the small hotel room at axpona, something many large speakers didn't do, and they're affordable.

Forgot all about the Volti Razz, might look into that a bit more as a smaller alternative to the Cornwall.
