I guess I have to sell my Tekton Enzos

because Eric said the DI's slaughter the Enzos. Better yes. Slaughter, I doubt it. If they slaughter the Enzos they probably slaughter the Enzo 2.7's as well. I'm sure Eric will put out some spin saying how much better the 2.7's are. What a load of crap. I can just imagine Dave Wilson saying the Sashas slaughter the WP8's or Harry Weisfeld saying the VPI Prime slaughters the Traveler. Marketing 101: Don't diss your own products. What Eric said about the Enzo is a slap in the face to every Enzo owner out there. I'm sure the DI's are better, but not in every situation. I'm very happy with my Enzos and very disappointed with Eric Alexander. He should know better. End of rant.

rsfphil,
Sorry, but I DO agree completely with you. 
While it may be true that the DI's are better, as the designer he should never be so indelicate with his comments.
Moreover, if they weren't better, why bring them to market?

Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

I would caution potential Tekton buyers not to confuse Eric's personality with the quality of his speakers.

Before I purchased my DI's I did take exception to some of the claims he made for his speakers.  He certainly will speak his mind and at times and  this will turn some individuals off.

BUT,  when it comes to his speakers there is no doubt these are superb transducers.  I think he is the brightest independent thinker in speaker design right now.  This guy must work nonstop and it is hard to believe what he has done in the last few years! 

If I could buy new speakers right now and start over, I wold purchase my DI's all over again.  In basic black.  What a value!

I have a set if Paradigm Studio 100 Reference speakers presently. Has anyone here experienced the sound of both of these speakers?

Also, I was just wondering if the $300 upgrade on the DI's worthwhile?

@gnason  Which version do you have? I have heard the earlier versions, and to my ears the DIs 'kill' ... just to be idiomatically different : ) since so many here have the slaughterhouse blues. : )  

On a serious note, only you can decide...I'd give them a listen if you are able to or even better yet, bring them into your system to truly get a feel for whether they are your thing, or not.

I know of at least one member who was considering the Persona line and went with the level above the DIs, partly due to the overall cost savings since it was a multiple speaker purchase.

@craigsub If you search the 'Tekton Double Impacts' thread you will see that @mac48025 did replace his SEs with the DIs. There are others who have actively compared the Legacy lineup with DIs, with some finding that the Aeris is where things got real in terms of comparisons, for them. Might be helpful to reach out to those members. Best of luck.
