Tekton First Time Buyer Prospect Seeking Advise from Tekton Owners

Its hard enough finding people who have personally listened and compared different models. To even begin to answer your question would call for comparing those different upgrades. Which maybe there is someone out there who has, but I don't fancy your odds much.  

Even if you find one though guess what? Still can't answer! Because no one can tell you what you should do. 

All I can say is, having bought Moabs with the standard upgrades (better wire, caps, terminals) and then heard how good these things are, my only regret is not going for even more. In other words right now you are probably a lot like I was, wondering if even these things are really worth it at all. So maybe upgrades will help to make sure they are. What happened with me was they are so good its obvious no upgrades were necessary to blow away everything else I've heard. 

Which only raises more questions- so why if no upgrades are necessary, then why is my only regret not going for even more? Because for me when I find something crazy high value the next step is max it out all I can. But for you it might be more like great then I can spend the money somewhere else.  

Everyone's situation is different. Even your situation is different depending on your system development plans. I would just get the most Tekton you can afford right now. Whether that is an upgraded Mini-Lore or another model. Order, relax, enjoy. Don't make it harder than it has to be.

Excellent advise. Thank you for your time.

Like most of us you probably have a budget. The tweeter upgrade costs almost as much as the speakers. There are some people who like beryllium tweeters and some who don’t. Also ,we don’t know your electronics. Personally ,if my budget permitted I would do the $300 upgrade. I would also ask Tekton if at some point in time if you decide to go for the Beryllium tweeters if they are a direct replacement for the soft domes ie: the tweeters are the same size so no woodwork needs to be done. Also you should ask if you can buy the Be tweeters from them after you have purchased the speakers.

:-)  Thanks. Like 1 hour ago, I have just asked Tekton via email about the later-on upgrade of the tweeters. I was also thinking that maybe the  beryllium tweeters  could be too bright for me, but no way of knowing until I try them. I am using a Wyred4Sound ST-500 power amp. My usual budget for gear items is about $1,500 maximum, but if I do not have to use it all, I do not want to, :-).

I was just reaching by asking, any advise or comments from tekton owners is information that I did not have before, hence it helps no matter what. 

Thanks for the comments! 

Like MC said, get the Largest Tekton your budget allows. Do you have room for a tower? These will give you more full range sound. I get it the mini monitors are not a big risk $ wise, but I would consider the standard Lore or the Enzo XL at least if you can swing it and have the room. The $300 crossover and wire upgrade is a good choice. I personally would not get the BE tweet, some love it. But a friend of mine did get it, and now he regrets it, too bright for him (and me). And he just ordered a replacement speaker without the BE. So 8 weeks till the truck comes to deliver the new and take back the old. Keep us posted on your decision.
