Tekton customers in Los Angeles

Hi Everyone, seriously considering the double impact SEs configured at 4ohm with Naim Nova at 155w a channel. I live within the Los Angeles area and hoping to synch up with an audiogon tekton customer who wouldnt mind discussing your real world all around experience and possible demo of your speakers before I decide to commit on a purchase. I’m a drummer and recovering Audiophile at heart and looking for an all in one system for around 10 to 14k that gives me the realistic sound pressure levels that drums can produce, but can’t afford a 50k system. 

Really appreciate your help

Why not audition them in your room?

From the Tekton website:

"Where can I audition the speakers?

Our current business model is strictly direct-to-consumer. While we do attend some audio shows that may provide a chance to hear our speakers in person, we firmly believe that the best way to listen is in your own space. We offer a 60-day risk-free trial so you can return the speakers if you are dissatisfied for any reason."

Yes I’m aware of that option but my understanding is they will only allow returned on non upgraded finishes. I plan to buy the gloss black and wanted to see finish quality in person. I may have to call them to see if they will still honor return if I order upgraded finish.

  I’d say you still need the subs. If you want it at a musicians level zyou need the subs. If it was me I would just get the standard finish. If you ever go to resell them you’re not gonna get back the $1700 that he charges to put that finish on them. Your safest bet is to by the Moab with the 410 subs standard finish. You’re not buying a piece of furniture, I put the money towards the subs. your ears will hurt at the end of the night of good listening.

The Towsen podium to make a nice difference but in my opinion not a $2500 difference. If the guy would lower the price he would sell a lot more of them. I found a kid online that I mounted all of my stuff on for about $50 per speaker and it did the same thing.

Thanks guys, I’m on board with getting subs for sure. I have the WAF to consider here as these are going in our main family room and do need to look good for the wife. Original post I’m looking for so cal customer who would be kind enough to show me their Tekton speakers and listen.  I know it’s a big ask but hoping someone will understand this situation I’m in. A big part of me wants to go the safe route and buy an overly priced well know tower with subs but I would prefer to hear the Tekton and see the upgraded finish to help finalize my decision
