Hi, guys. Tekton the Shill (or just plain troll) aside, yeah, I’m still quite interested. I currently have B&W 803N, and I’m pretty happy with them. But, they are almost 20 years old, and I would like to consider something new. They can be a little bright at times, and can have a touch of midrange forward sound. I surely don’t want to spend the $10k or more to get newer B&Ws. I can’t afford to spend that kind of money. I got the 803s used. Maybe I should consider some used 803Diamond for something less than $5k. My worry with that option is that I use a Primaluna HP integrated, and I know some B&W speakers can be power hungry. I think I have adequate power, but could lose lots of dough if it’s not enough.
If they are as good as you all say, the Tekton line is attractive. What is hardest for me is the lack of any information, even on Eric’s site about the differences in the speakers. If I want a mid or full tower, how do I know which to choose? Other than tech specs, every page contains the same hyperbole. Does anyone have any sort of description that helps to show the difference between all of the lines? Someone should really help him make his website more user friendly, with descriptive terms to show differences in models.
My info gathering seems to point me toward Electron. DI seems like a huge speaker, and potentially a huge wall of sound. I want something a bit more elegant in appearance and quality of sound than that. But, maybe I should consider Impact... or Brilliance... or Pendragon... or Enzo... or Lore Reference... or what? How would I possibly know? I don’t have the option to order multiple pairs, and return the ones I don’t want. That would easily cost over $1k. And, if I ask here on AG, most will recommend the one they have (or heard).
Stumped in MN. If anyone is in MN and would be willing to share a bit of listening time, I’ll buy the beverages and head right over!
