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