Which 30K Speakers Would You Give Up For Tekton Double Impacts?


Since I keep reading and hearing that audiophiles have replaced their 30K speakers with the Tekton Double Impacts, I started this thread to see what speakers and why they were replaced.  I really want to know who did this and why.  Personally, I do not believe anyone would give up 30K speakers for 3K speakers, but what do I know anyways?

Thanks teajay, pretty impressive comparison to speakers costing many times more in the review. I've never heard Wilsons but the Tektons seem to get compared to them often. 

Like many others here I upgraded from the DI's to the SE's and couldn't be happier. When I purchased the DI's I owned the Legacy Focus SE's. The Legacys are excellent speakers and I figured they'd be a mainstay in my two channel system with the DI's going into a theater system. After listening to both speakers off and on for two weeks it quickly became apparent that I much preferred to DI's. I never expected that! The SE's take things to yet another level. As david_ten stated, the SE's are more refined but there is a certain liveliness the DI's possess that that the SE's don't quite match......an exuberant youthful vigor the more mature and refined SE's look down their nose at.

A $300K system would definitely include a $30K ~ $62K pair of speakers.  I have listened to the Vandersteen Model Seven Mark II and a $100K system with the B&W 800 D3 and both sound amazing to me.
Both systems had a very fine and expensive turntable.  
If anyone is interested I have had a pair of Tekton Sigma OB's for a year and a half. I had sold my Apogee Duetta Signatures I had had for many years and was looking to find a dipole/open baffle design as a replacement.
I came across Tekton, read about Eric Alexander and his company (both pro and con) and - with no risk involved - decided to give his Sigmas a try. Glad I did! They have been wonderful and the more I fiddle with my system the better I like them. I am looking forward to hearing his DI's asap.
Sorry to jump into this conversation late.  I recently auditioned a pair of of the DIs, and wanted to do some research before purchasing.  This is an interesting discussion.  I do take issue with some of the points made, however.  I'll plead guilty to enjoying the part of the hobby that continually swaps gear in search of the Holy Grail of music reproduction.  What I don't get, is the hyperbole surrounding new equipment.  Where does it start, and how does it end?  How many ads do I need to read about cables that "out-perform cables costing 10 time as much".  Etc., etc., etc....

If the purpose of gear is to enjoy the music, didn't the KEF (or other) speakers do that?  What would move a person with tens-of-thousands of dollars wrapped up in electronics and cables to become dissatisfied with their >$20K speakers and seek out new speakers costing a fraction of that?  If the AZ, KEF, or otherwise weren't satisfying, who's to say that it was the speakers?   And if that pair of $10K monoblocks that were driving those >$20K speakers weren't providing a satisfying listening experience, might one have to change out the rest of their gear also in seeking out system synergy?  Are the folks at Wilson and Revel and Acoustic Zen (and KEF, etc.) shitting in their pants that their >$20K speakers are going to be made obsolete?  And what if Tekton comes out with an even better speaker?  Will it out-perform speakers costing over $50K?  I mean, where does the maddness stop?  Well, I'm glad that you guyz who bought the tektons love 'em.  I just wonder how long you'll hang on to them... :-)

I guess what I've learned after years (and years) in the business and in the hobby are a few things: Start cheap and work your way up the audiophile ladder, never buy new gear, as it becomes obsolete or out-performed fairly quickly, and know that new (to you) gear will never sound the same to you in your home as it did to a reviewer or in someone else's system.
