Tekton Double Impacts

Porscheracer,
Thanks for the initial listening impressions of the two amplifiers. I was confident that if you just listen and focus on the music things would naturally sort themselves out. I’m not surprised that you and your wife express a decided preference for the Pioneer amplifier, more "natural and live" sounding as your wife pointed out. Pure class A well implemented will do that 😊. Watt quality versus watt quantity in my humble opinion . Congratulations.

Hey thanks David, I know know that me, Bullitt and Vitop might be in for an adventure with the hurricane hitting to the south of us. There's no telling how much of the three of us will. get in Houston. 

I don't know of anybody in here from Corpus, but if there are I hope they're safe.

The good news is that the DIs are big enough to double as canoes. 

It also makes me glad that Eric didn't ship my mini Ulfs on time. It's not a real good time for that kind of investment to arrive in the mail. Haha. 

A few years ago I bought the entire Enzo home theatre system, a total of 7 speakers.  That was the worst and largest audio purchase I ever made. My $500 MMG Magnepans sounded better. I ended up selling the entire system for less than half of what I paid. I ended up going back to Magnepan with the 1.7. 
I sold them through Audio Solutions in Indianapolis. We played the Enzo mains and everyone in the shop was surprised how bad they sounded. They told me that they looked inside the enclosure and they couldn't see any internal bracing. 
I don't know how these got a good review unless the reviewers are paid off. They sound very dull and muttled.
Eric of Tekton was a real pain to deal with too. After I ordered, several months later, I still had no speakers. After several delays, I called to cancel my order. Eric convinced me not to cancel, worst financial mistake I've ever made.
I will avoid Tekton with a 20 foot pole.

Funny, I sold my Magnepan 1.7's after 2 weeks with the DI's.  I can assure you none of us have been paid off.

As my departed grandmother used to say, "to each his own."

A room full of Audiophiles all agreed that my Tekton Design Enzo mains were lousy;
very dull, muttled, no detail, clarity. $500 Magnepans are so much better.

I believe eve it was Andrew Robinson that has given Tekton good reviews, I wonder if the speakers the reviewers get have the same components as what I got.
