Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to?

What’s up with the 3 deleted posts in a row???? 

Moved way past the Tekton DI’s that I had for 8 months,now since I’m a diy guy of 40 yrs now,mine were tweaked and upgraded a little.

At the first of the year I brought in the Pure audio project open baffles with the Beyma horn Amt driver,i’ve been wanting to try that tweeter and also a open baffle speaker in my system.I really loved the Beyma but a open baffle speaker isn’t gonna work for me in this room,even with Lyngdorf’s room perfect correction.I knew when I bought them that they would be easy to sale locally and they where,no big deal,other than I will be tweaking them as time allows for the new owner,that was part of the deal.

Let me explain my game plan here so maybe you can understand what I’m looking for.
I will be retiring in the next 8 yrs or less and before I do I want to have 3 sets of nice speakers of different topology’s,basically a reference pair for me to represent different build and sound qualities.

I have a nice pair of Silverline Boleros Supremes that I really like,think Dynaudio with a bass kick,but 8ohm and 92 db.So much easier to drive,and they have minimal crossover’s with only 3 parts.I bought these used from a dealer on Audiogon.
The Bolero’s will stay as my reference pair of “Cones and Domes” and will be used in my smaller 2nd system.

So continuing my quest,I got out and about and listened to a few new speakers,and I talked to several of my Audiogon friends that are spread around the country.Then I stumbled upon a couple of reviews on the Lawrence Audio Double Bass speakers and I remembered them when they first came out and how gorgeous they look.The only problem is there’s only about 3 dealers in the USA and they are just not very common.
Anyhow I kept that speaker at the top of my list and I found a demo pair from a dealer that I know and trust.Only had them for six days now but I know these are going to be keepers representing a unique marriage of cones,Amt midrange’s,and ribbon tweeters that sound just as good as they look.

Basically these double bass are unique and different and that’s exactly what I was looking for,most of the new speakers on the market are just ok,just not very impressive to me,and they are kinda just cut from the same cookie cutter.Another thing that’s amazing to me,is that most that I’ve seen so far are 4 ohm and their crossover build and implementation leaves a lot to desire,especially considering the price tag on some of these.

So I have in my system 2 very nice sets of speakers that I just love,and going forward I will be searching for the third set and I have some time not to be in any hurry.

I don’t have any regrets at all owning the DI’s at all but anything from Tekton nation isn’t going to work for me at all.
Just simply a company that I have no respect for and definitely don’t agree with their business practices and ethics.Lesson Learned.

Kenny, what did Tekton do?

I don’t really care to write a novel about it,but from all the horror stories from people I know scattered around,basically many cases of not getting what they paid for.

I basically received what I paid for with mine,and I would say they are above average speaker for the money,I have no regrets at all,moved on obviously.

Taking all I know and have learned from others left a very bad taste for me,I simply would never do business with someone like this,
They are simply just a slap in the face to respectable manufacturers,Nelson Pass would be a prime example.

When it was time for my DI’s to go,I simply gave them away locally,no way I could ever take any money for them.

If you enjoy your Tekton speakers,that’s great,As you can see,I’ve moved on.I only post here so that folks can see that there’s 2 sides to this story.
