Has anyone here had any dealings with Tekton, particularly their subwoofers


As I explore options for replacing equipment I am it seems constantly finding new sources of components to consider. Tekton has appeared on my radar due to another thread here at audiogon. I just wondered if anyone has gone this direction for subwoofers in particular, but I also have questions about their full range speakers and what they are like to deal with. Given that the world of hi-fi has become even more of a smoke and mirrors game than it has been in the past, I am more cautious about who I am willing to throw down money for than I ever have been.

I would call tekton he can build you what you want.there are some prominent people who have his speakers.yes they are bang for the buck.he can put the best crossovers you can get he will customize for you.the paint is fantastic.now they do not have furniture grade wood like my kharma,focal utopia,or several screws like my magico q7 but they weren't 30 x the price either.i have woofers he custom made that for sound I would put against the top of the line.he uses high end components if you want beryllium  componinents  if you want that upgrade.beryllium is light fast and responsive.momentum is mass x velocity and because it is light it's fantastic. I have all his top of the line speakers and find them great.just call him.enjoy the music and the adventure.

It all depends on your expectations and how high your bar is. I briefly owned the original Pendragons a few years ago and recently had a chance to spend a weekend with the Double Impacts. If you want a speaker that can fill a room with sound effortlessly at a relatively inexpensive price, look no further. But if you value imaging, a 3d soundstage and refinement, there are better choices. 
 

No free lunch or giant killers here. For my taste they are only “ok”, but not nearly as bad as some here would lead you to believe.

Not sure how those Double Impacts were set up, but in my dedicated audio room I have fantastic imaging and they float a very large and accurate soundstage.  They exceeded the Magnepans I had at the time which were quickly sold once the DI's were dialed in.

I must say that the ulfberht are fantastic you can have them in beryllium ceramic or normal but they are big in size.read the review done by stero times. Enjoy the search and the music.

That’s funny because we put some Magnepan LRS speakers in directly after the tektons and both felt that bass and dynamics notwithstanding, the Maggies were the better speaker. I’m not slamming the DIs, they were competent at everything, just not great.
