Tekton Double Impacts

I agree. I had actually asked Eric about this very thing. At this point in time he is not supplying any sort of brackets and is not making the speakers with any type of mounting capabilities. Any threaded inserts would need to be done for a particular mounting pattern.
So it really is an issue. The two rears will be sitting right above our seating area pointing down on top of us, so I am concerned about it also. Eric said to get some brackets, screw them into the speakers and use catch cables.
Once I get them, I am going to do a review of the different bracket types and may in fact put inserts into the speakers myself.
So I guess what I am saying is I am not really sure either. I need to get it solved. I was thinking about a different brand of wall mounted speaker, but I would like to keep it the same.
If anyone on this forum has dealt with and solved this issue, it would be great to hear about it.

One thing that will help me is that the rears will only be about 4" deep, so that will keep the mass down, but it is still an issue to solve.


Right now my leading candidate of an idea is a mount (a mini one) like that is used to mount a flat screen TV to a wall and allow it to tilt down. I would need one that would allow a 90 degree of tilt down so I had the ability to tilt it down as much as I need. I do not think a bracket like that would be that hard to find. then I would put screw inserts into the back of the speaker and screw the other part onto the wall. The fact that the speakers would have little clearance to the back side of the cabinet makes me nervous about drilling holes. I wish there was an actual Tekton solution but at this point in time, there is none.

Then I have to figure out how to attach a catch cable to the speaker. An internet search for speaker catch cable did not get me anywhere.

Mac:

I heard the Focus SE’s when I went to hear the DI’s. I like them. I didn’t read the whole thread, and I’m sure you mentioned it, but do you also have some Tektons? If so, are you keeping both and which do you like more?


EDIT: I went back and read some pages back and see you have the DI's. Are you also keeping the Focus speakers? Just curious.

Vitop,
the Focus SE's were very nice but I prefer the DI's and sold the Focus.......which actually surprised me as I didn't think the DI's were actually going to outperform the much more expensive SE's. I was planning on using the DI's in my theater system but they firmly entrenched in my two channel system. I'll get some Tekton Enzo 2.7's for my theater. 

On an unrelated note I rolled in the TungSol round plate, black glass 12SN7's with some 40's Mullard 12AT7's into the LTA MZ2. Damn, they sound good. They added just enough warm texture and smoothness for my liking. They may be a tad bit slower with slightly less attack than the RCA's I had, but I love the natural tone and texture given to vocals and instruments. It's more realistic sounding to my ears. I believe Teajay's assertion that adding a SET amp adds even more musicality but I'm more than happy sticking with this one watt wonder of an integrated amp with these gorgeous vintage tubes. I'm sure I'll take the SET amp dive someday but I'll revel in the sound I'm getting now for a while first. I still have to try the KenRad 12SN7's but I'm enjoying the TungSols too much right now. 

Thanks for for all of your suggestions regarding the DI's and MZ2 Teajay! 

I really wish Tekton would start selling in stores.  :(

Contuzzi,

Not really needed,just get you a pair I like did.
No regrets whatsoever,best 3k I have ever spent in this hobby in 31yrs.

Disclaimer,I don't like dealers just makes prices go up.

I've heard though that the upper Tekton models will be dealer only,
Bummer time to put the diy cap on.LOL.

Best of luck to you,

Kenny.
