An Objective Review of the Tekton Double Impact Speakers
That's Brooklynese! Didn't you see Donny Brasco with Al Pachino? Geeze.   
An Objective Review of the Tekton Double Impact Speakers
Fagaboutit. As my mom once told me, "don't be a sucker" but with Tekton, you can be a big fat sucker, poor service AND get abuse from the owner.  Guarantee you, in a few years Tekton will be gone and or made in China.  Now, if you have crappy ears... 
Tekton versus Klipsch
Yes, definitely demo but unless he has the same amp, dac etc. he’s going to experience it differently which is another reason not to trust a demo, review or word of mouth.   I ended up with Response 3’s and they are wonderful, I can’t see ever g... 
Tekton versus Klipsch
Maybe I can understand if you only listen to loud rock or even blues but aside from that Fagetaboutit, the Klipsch Forte Fours smoked them on every genre BUT they were 1500 dollars more. It wasn’t a personal taste thing and I had other musicians l... 
Tekton versus Klipsch
I can only speak from experience which is limited since I’ve only had four pairs of audiophile grade speakers and my first pair were the Double Impacts with a PrimaLuna EVO 300 and 400. However, I am a professional musician and a respected instrum...

I ended up with a pair of rebuild Proac Tesponse 3’s for less money that smoked the Tektons.   
An Objective Review of the Tekton Double Impact Speakers
Who are you, his aunt? I don't get discounts, I don't know anyone who gets discounts.  Giving discounts to people in exchange for a positive review is corrupt and undermines the whole thing.  It misleads people and that's wrong and it's not just a... 
An Objective Review of the Tekton Double Impact Speakers
I saw his video on Tekton, check it out.  What makes you think he doesn't get all that stuff at a huge discount or for free. My friend who wrote for a audio magazine got all his stuff for free.  Otherwise why would he do it?    
An Objective Review of the Tekton Double Impact Speakers
I don't buy Jay's persona, he plugs stuff all the time too and has altera motives.and plugged Tekton. He's not the innocent kid he comes off as.  He's like anyone else, if he doesn't say something good manufacturers will stop sending him stuff to ...

To the moon Alice, to the moon!    
An Objective Review of the Tekton Double Impact Speakers
True but there’s lots of ignorance in the world.  I really opened my eyes to this truth after buying the Tektons and from the environment these last few years but there’s always going to be people who want to believe what they want to believe and ... 
An Objective Review of the Tekton Double Impact Speakers
My friend used to write for an audio magazine,  he got all his gear for free and told me that reviews are BS, based on attracting advertising dollars.     The DI’s might have been okay with a solid state amp and for loud music but absolutely not ... 
My Experience With Tekton
twoleftears4 I bought a pair of Klipsch Forte Fours which were a step up from the hype speakers served by a rude ass but ended ended up with Proac Response threes.  You could say I'm picky, I flew to Hamburg German to play Steinways over there bec... 
My Experience With Tekton
I was disgusted not so much as the wat my Double Impacts played but as how they didn't live up to all the hype surrounding them.  Reviews saying that they were as good as ten thousand or twenty thousand dollar speakers? Give me a break.  And, the ... 
My Experience With Tekton
Forget about the speakers for a moment.  With the service and rudeness I experienced from Eric, not to mention the 3 1/2 month wait, that was enough for me to unload them. Damn, what an uptight guy.  And I thought the speakers were no big whoop. B...
