Why People Like Tekton


I saw this You Tube clip yesterday and I really think this guy gave one of the most well-reasoned explanations of why some people gave up their hyper-detailed "audiophile" speakers for Tekton.  I've never heard them myself, but I think the same reasoning applies to many other brands like Harbeth, Spendor, Wharfdale, etc.  I personally feel the way he does, but I think he expressed it better than I would have.  Eventually, at some point in the journey, you may get tired of listening to the singer's saliva and chairs creaking and just want to relax and hear music in a more natural manner.and not with your ear 6" from the singer's mouth.  Or maybe you do.  Anyway - take a watch if you have the time.  And I'm guessing most of you do.

Did you notice how there is a $5600 tweeter up grade available for the $3150 Double Impact?  The upgrade costs more than the rest of the loudspeaker.  If the stock loudspeaker is so good, why do you need an upgrade that costs 150% more?

What you've got here is a big painted box with a pile of low cost drivers.  Remember at $3150, they have to make money, so they've got about $600 worth of drivers in the whole package.  That's 14 tweeters, 4 mid bass drivers and 4 bass drivers.  I suggest that you go to Parts-Express or Madisound and price out what it would cost to build your own clone.

Big boxes with cheap drivers.  Looks impressive.
