Ugliest Component of the Year 2024!

Tekton dude, Eric, clearly doesn't want to do gloss paint lol.  As a businessperson, probably one of those things where it's like "if they want it, they'll pay for it otherwise I can just do the part I like doing"

I own the double impacts and impact monitors and I love how they sound.  Not extremely gorgeous but they honestly look much nicer in person.  My friend has the moabs.  They are a bit more to take in but I wouldn't say I hate them by any means with the ceramic and beryllium drivers.  I understand if you're able to fork out 10's of thousands to get insane sound and gorgeous cabinets.  I can only afford one of the two.  And I prefer insane sound over gorgeous cabinets

I'll throw klipschorn and other giant boxes by them in the mix.  Don't like how they sound either which makes it worse for me.

And yea the rant on ASR was not a good moment for Tekton.  To be fair I didn't think their base model Lore was that bad measurement wise.  Go check the stereophile article on the impact monitors if you want to see the response of the seven tweeter array.  I have a +/-3 DB response from 20 hz to 20 khz with minimal room EQ from the listening position.  I also have a fully treated space and two rhythmik F12s working sub 80 hz.  Speaker designers are human too and he clearly takes pride in his products to light Amir up like that lol
