Need speaker advice
Hej
I'm looking for a
new pair of speakers. The reason for this is that I find my Tannoy
Legacy Eaton a little too difficult to drive for my 2x12w Audion
Audio Sterling. I also feel that the Tannoys are a little too relaxed
and a little rolled off.
One problem with
brands like Tekton and nsmt is that I live in Sweden and I do not
have the opportunity to listen to them (which I assume is the same
problem in the US) and to send them back if I don't like them is not
financially defensible. To take a chance on one of these brands I really have to be sure that they are what I’m looking for. I don’t
think this will happend.
I heard Klipsch
Heresey III which I didn't like. To my taste, they were too much on
my face and too harsh. Could have been the room and/or the amplifier
and/or ...?
I listen to all
kinds of music, from progressive rock to classical music.
My listening
position is 6.6 feet from the speakers.
My budget is aprox $
7,200.
Any suggestions?

There’s, Buchardt, ATC, Dynaudio, Gradient, Dutch and Dutch, GGNTKT, Proac, Wharfedale, jeez Europe has a lot of speaker companies this is just a small sample. Adam, Q Acoustics, Kef, Devaliet... I haven’t listed one yet that isn’t better than Tekton. I would say Revel but they are overpriced in Europe. Edit : Sorry completely forgot JBL you might find those to give a try. |
I have not done anything close to a direct comparison between a Klipsch Heresey and Tekton speakers, but, I have heard the Klipsch and two of the Tekton models--the MOAB and the Double Impacts. I prefer the Tekton speakers because they are not as rough or harsh sounding. The Tektons sound quite good for the money and work well with low-powered amps. |
@simna here is the website for a Swedish retailer of Audio Note speakers. https://audioconcept.se/ I own and love the AN-J with a 17 watt tube amp. |
