Tekton Double Impacts

"I love the grills on the Ulfs, too. I mean, these aren’t the most attractive speakers in the world. The grills certainly help."

To each, their own. I think the grills look quite nice and work well in Jeffery’s room. I don’t think he has any other option there. In my room however, they will be displayed in their full splendor. I have more cubic space and lighter colors to allow that to happen.


"You’re right; people should jump on board now before these go through the roof....If Eric could just find the help he needs to get his product out while people are getting hooked on Tekton, then he’ll stand a great chance to raise is prices...and the people will follow."


I admit that I had an innate sense of urgency when placing my order yesterday, I guess unconsciously considering wait time and pricing. I had a sense of relief that I was officially in the que after hanging up. This Sasha comparison is not going to quell the fires any.

I can honestly say that I don’t believe Eric has any underlying desires to increase his profit margins. When I talk to him what comes across is his genuine excitement for what he’s created, his desire to spread the word. I’ll interject on my own maybe a little deserved "I told you so" as well.

At the same time, how else does one deal with increasing demand versus potentially compromising product quality with increased rates of production? I’m sure it’s a nice problem for Eric to have. I’ll spare you all the Karma pun that just crossed my mind...

The challenges of piano reproduction came up yesterday. Eric mentioned he discussed this with Terry recently. I was just going through a string of different recordings of Bach’s Goldberg Variations, the vast majority of which are piano performances. I stumbled upon Mahan Esfahani’s award winning harpsichord recording of that work. It left me slack-jawed. One of the most powerful recordings I have heard on the DI’s. It simply filled the room with one of the most immersive, dynamic sounds I have heard. It was on a level clearly above any of the piano recordings that I demo’d.

Ok stop it with this crap! All these over the top accolades and better than $28,000 speakers hype. I can no longer take it!  This stuff is nuts, just nuts, for a $3000 speaker. No doubt you are all part of a Tekton conspiracy to take over the Audio world. STOP IT! 

You've got me worked up into a frenzy and I must try a set now. This is really the last thing I want to do as I am most content with my rig. However, I am blessed, perhaps cursed, with a strong dose of curiosity in life. 

imswjm,

I know what you mean I've listened to vinyl of this Mahan Esfahani’s
recording for many yrs.I have recently made the change to all digital and you can find this recording on Tidal for those that use it.

Congrats my friend on your purchase of the Ulf's They might be the last speaker you will ever need.Now the wait begins but it sounds like you have a good plan in place and can be patient.

Kenny.

grannyring,

You need to put that all in one class d thing you love in a box and get on one of those big airplanes and come to my house where some DI's reside.

LOL

Kenny.
