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

soundsgood05,

I’m sorry to read that you are disappointed with your DI’s.You May never reach the musical bliss that you are looking for but always remember you have many other better choices and I’m not referring to the SE version that some like better.

I’ve never heard the SE version myself,I wasted enough time with the standard version and moved way beyond them.

I don’t know how old yours are,they do need some serious break in time to settle in,300 to 500 hrs is some average times to loosen up drivers and let the caps fully form.

Another problem is the constant changes in parts quality and values in the overall crossover implementation,in about one yrs time,confirmed from several folks that I have talked to during this period and the folks that are just plug and play types have no idea what they have.Yes offcourse they judge the sound and with any gear that’s the bottom line.

Good luck to you,
Kenny.

Give up 30K speakers for Tekton??? This is a joke right? I have a pair of Legacy Audio Focus SE's, and no way would I EVER trade them in on Tektons...but to be fair, I haven't heard anything yet under 50K that I would trade them for, with the possible exception of the Legacy Aeris.

Have you heard the DIs in your room? 

I’ve had Ushers, Paradigm Sigs, Merlin’s, KEF Reference, Vapor Audio, Dynaudio, Klipsch, Golden Ear, and more I’m not thinking of. 
Yeah not top of the heap but not Best Buy Stuff either. 
The Sigs and KEFs were very detailed. The Ushers were great for vocals and not bad on everything else. The Dynaudios were smooth and had good tone with surprising amount of bass as long as you have a high current amp. The Vapors have a wonderful tweeter and do everything else pretty well. The Golden Ears were well balanced and had pretty slammin bass.
In my room my non SE DIs have the detail of the Sigs and KEFs, the tone of the Ushers, the immediacy of the Klipsch, the bass approaching the Golden Ears “with better articulation”and the smoothness of the Dynaudios. So for me nothing in the 3k range will come close. Get up to 30k well then I really dunno. I’m guessing they can compete in certain areas. For 3k I truly believe you are not gonna touch them. My opinion, no fights, 213 I’m ready for ya buddy. 

mofojo,
Your not referring to your buddy 213 runnin are you.LoL.

Excellant post describing your journey to musical bliss,can’t get any more real than that.

Enjoy,
Kenny.
