Tekton Double Impacts
Teajay, Loved seeing/reading your review of the Ulfberht's! Thanks! https://hometheaterreview.com/tekton-design-ulfberht-floorstanding-speaker-reviewed/?page=2 Eric Alexander - audio designer |
Grannyring, Thanks a lot for your feedback!! I have followed you and Charles (charles1dad) for a very long time, and I value your opinions greatly. You both call a spade a spade, so I price your feedback on audio gear very high. While we can all argue that performance on a component can't solely be judged on the cost, any sensible person knows that quality parts and implementation plays a major part. I have interest in the Tekton SEs and still do. I expected quality drivers but you saw the designers response. It appears to him that all that matters is the sound, and that there was/is no need for people to ask for the drivers used because the sound alone answers it all. Your quote " Let’s just say Tekton needs additional talent and help moving forward if they want to achieve sustainable success" is spot on. Tekton is doing something great for us audiophiles in that he is bringing affordable speakers with great sound to us, but he need to be open to criticism on improvements. Also, how he responds to the critics is very important as his personality/ego could show in his responses. As a designer/manufacturer/owner of a company/seller, how he treats customers, whether good or bad, will decide his fate in this business going forward. |
@sbayne I felt the other speaker cables I had at my disposal did not gel well with everything in my system. I was experiencing way too much upper midrange and high frequencies with the Electrons installed. My old speakers (Eminent Technology) had a more laidback presentation. When adding the WE cables, I felt like I added a warm tube. It pushed back the soundstage to midhall and eliminated the nasties that were making my ears miserable (I have tinnitus). I am sure other cables like the Cerious Tech would work great as well. I am in the camp that believes cables do influence the sound. Some don’t. No debates :) I wasn’t about to buy more cables to figure out how to make the Electrons work in my room, so I was lucky to have the WE cables available. Yes it came down to a wire. A $60 wire lol Associated Equiptment Amp: Lyndorf TDAI 2170 Source: Simaudio 260d Tranport Digital Cable: High Fidelity Reveal Power Cords : CPT 150 and 300 Power Conditioner: High Fidelity Cable MC6 I also wanted to take the time to thank the great posters here that have helped assist me in making my system sound the way it does presently. You know who you are. -Peace |
