Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to?
thanks guys. xrayz, I need to sell the Gallos. are you interested? I know someone on this forum said they were but I think it was someone else. I would just need to come up with some boxes. I live in Jacksonville FL. 
Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to?
ok, speaker search = overToday I drove down with my amp and some CD’s to the Harbeth/Audio Note dealer and heard the C7es3, M30.1 and Audio Note AN-E (not sure which level).They all sounded really nice with the Job INtegrated but the real standout... 
Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to?
What I keep hearing about the DI's/Impact Monitors is that they can sound very impressive` but refinement is not really in their repertoire.  
Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to?
madhavno, I couldn't find the time to go hear the DI's since the day dedicated to listening to speakers was filled with traveling to 3 stores and hearing about 10 different brands/models. Going a different route on monday - going to hear Harbeth C...

Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to?
Ok, call me crazy but I'm actually considering at least trying the Tekton Impact monitors if my wife will let me. If I really love them I would probably return them and get the DI's  I just don't want to start with the DI's just in case I don't fa... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
I did get to hear the Devore O/96 in NYC driven by Shindo and it was wonderful and just as you described but I had the distinct feeling they would make me sleepy listening to them. They are also out of my range, but the O/93 could be possible. I w... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
I'm on a similar search and my head is spinning to be honest. I've heard a whole host of speakers under 10k recently:Vandy Treo CT (very balanced and musical, if a bit polite)Elac Andante AF61 (huge and impressive but with a metallic tonality)Moni... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
ProfDid you by chance audition the Wilson Benesch in the Atlanta area? I was talking to the dealer there, British guy and very old-school in his thinking. We actually butted heads enough on the phone that I never ended up going to his store. Just ... 
What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0(
Someone mentioned Magico's goal of selling 1000 pairs of A3. Their goal for the entire first year was 100 pairs. They have already sold 800 in the first month. Just FYI. 
Thrilled with My New Bache Audio Speakers
Thanks for the feedback. His designs look interesting to me as well and he seems to have garnered some nice pro reviews. Were you able to have a trial period to make sure they work for you? 
Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to?
Update: the more I audition, the more I realize just how really great these Gallos are, especially for the price. Up next, Salk Song 3A. 
Revel Salon 2’s (used) or new Magico A-3 (new) ??
hmm, Magicos lower lines are really anything but etched sounding in my experience.  
Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to?
Ok, I found a Tekton DI (with upgrades) owner in Atlanta that will let me have a listen when I am up there in a couple weeks so right after I hear the Salks. I'm really curious to at least hear the DI's and I certainly didn't want to have to order... 
New Speakers ... Can't Stop "Listening"
Hmm. The guy that claims the SF Olympicas are in another league vs the Joseph's...only if you value rolled off, polite sound based on my experience with the Olympicas.
