TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS

Russ69 how about ribbon in the middle?

First, tell us about your woodworking workshop.  How well-equipped is it?

jayctoy - I think you know I've owned the Impact Monitors. In fact, Bill upgraded the crossover and wiring for me. They were excellent but before you spend money on upgrades I'd suggest you replace the blown tweeters yourself, sell them and move up to the double array speakers that Tekton offers. I have the Moabs now and they are much higher performing than the Impact Monitors. If you don't want to do that I believe the Be upgrade uses the Sartori TW29B-B. Check with Eric to be sure. 

Swapping drivers is the easy drop-in route. Ultimately however all that can do is add a bit of sparkle. The much harder but far more satisfying route is to upgrade some or all of the crossover components. As long as you are careful to use only same electrical value parts and only upgrade the parts quality this will have zero risk of fundamentally altering the character of the speaker but will elevate it tremendously with far greater dynamics, detail, and extension.   

Ultimately however I am with sbayne on this one, the best upgrade money you can spend will be on a new pair of Moabs. Eric with his low stiction low mass approach has the currently best speaker design philosophy, but this only reaches full fruition with the full MTM array. That is what makes Moab the #1 bargain in high end speakers.  

If you are interested in doing a full crossover upgrade please check out the pics on my system page, where you will find detailed images of exactly what it involves.  https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367

Sbayne I remember you did have the IM , with double rhytmik sub, you bought spatial speakers after.y. I do own the KLH 9 electrostatic now , before I got the KLH Iam leaning toward the Moab.
