Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to?

@david ten.   LOL! 

@213runnin. I don’t care to argue on Tekton and that was not my point. Yes, I have indeed worked on speakers costing up to $22,000. Many. Yes they do use MDF, yes they do use $10 caps and $ .25 sand cast resistors. Highly reviewed ones winning all kinds of accolades. It is quite a revelation learning from actual experience and I suggest that for you sir. Go ahead and look inside some expensive speakers and learn. They still sound great, but can be improved.

Yes some use other materials and higher quality parts. You mentioned a couple.

Even the expensive B&W 800 series use a $20 cap on the all important mids. The bottom of the line film cap from Mundorf. The standard MCap. This is the cost of a 50uf (large value) cap to mere consumers like you and I. A smaller value Mcap costs $10. The builder pays far less. These are average quality at best. The same quality level of caps found in Tekton.  Tekton uses Clarity PX. 

Granny, you say you don’t want want to argue and then go ahead anyway.  

I was educating you on the comment you made.  I did not realize you knew big dollar B&W speakers use $10-$20 crossover caps based on your post above? Being serious here. Just trying to share facts for better understanding. 

@213runnin As a former Double Impact owner, I’ve been following all the Tekton threads for quite some time and have noticed a few common themes in your posts. I’ve seen it on both Audiogon and Canuck Audio Mart.

You have done nothing but speculate and theorize negatively about how these speakers must sound and try to pass it off as a fact. Then when someone questions you or mentions this, you play all innocent and merely pass it off as your own opinion. You haven’t owned or even heard them as far as I know?

You’ve speculated that the DI’s have a non flat frequency curve based on another Tekton model’s measurements and the fact that Erik doesn’t want to publish them.

You’ve also speculated that based on your opinion of the cabinet/build quality/crossover and driver quality that this is a poor sounding speaker.

You’ve speculated that James got rid of the DI’s because he didn’t like them?

You’ve speculated that GrannyRing has never pulled $20,000+ speakers apart so therefore he can’t possibly understand the improvements he’s made with his own speakers?

You are entitled to your opinion as everybody is but please don’t confuse that with facts or experience.

@james_w514 is a hugely informative resource who has had the opportunity to experience an enormous amount of gear in all price ranges. He’s a unique resource because he’s been involved with audio gear at a consumer and sales level. He’s also very humble in his recommendations and has nothing to prove or sell. He never said he sold his DI’s because he didn’t like them, you put those words in his mouth. You’ve also been trying to press his buttons for quite some time on these forums and I believe that’s why he finally made the comment about your Rainmakers. And now you’re trying to rally other’s around this one comment.

And as for your comments toward @grannyring, that’s just pure arrogance to assume what he does or doesn’t know.

Now @213runnin, are you actually a previous owner of Tekton speakers and have something productive to say? Or would you like to keep spouting your negative guesswork?

And for the record, I’m not a Tekton fanboy and actually sold my Double Impacts.
