Tekton versus Klipsch


Hi, 

I am exploring tube amp friendly speakers.

I have listened to Cornwall 4's and Goldenear 2's.

Can anyone share how the sound of the Tektons, say Double Impacts, would compare to the other two brands?

Thanks for listening,

Hi @dsper,
The Fritz crossover is absent capacitor and resistors to the tweeter driver so probably very minimalist compare to the Thiel speaker crossover layout. No doubt that the builder can provide additional detail beyond my limited comments. People report Fritz speakers pairing well with Dennis Had 10 watt SEP amplifiers in addition to  300b SETs.

“Facten....You argue the fact there are a lot of Tekton speakers for sale?..but  my statement "they are junk,..poorly designed jinky cabinets with lousy bracing,big,butt ugly,loaded with cheap off the shelf drivers...all they do is go loud!.".....you say nothing about,lmao...I think that speaks for it self!!”

Nope they do more than go loud they sound very good and much better than most anything if not everything in their price range. They also have probably the highest raw parts cost to retail cost in the industry. Yes cabinets are not crazy high tech but are sufficient. They could make Magico bomb shelters for a small improvement with a triple cost maybe. 
I came very close to producing a speaker for production, a 95db 5 ohm 15 inch 2 way.  I wanted a very high value speaker and I looked long and hard at producing high quality sound while cutting cost where I could.  I built 4 different prototype cabinets trying very hard to get the cabinet stiff and inert while keeping cabinet weight down.  Everything is a balancing act. 
I've sat in front of a couple of Tekton speakers, he does use cheaper parts and he does cut cost on cabinets, but they are well thought out, well designed speakers.  I'm sure that if you wanted to drop and extra grand or two into a given model that Eric would beef up the cabinets and improve crossover parts for you. I doubt that he would change drivers, that would require a whole new design, but if you would want to pay it, I'm sure its worth asking.  I hope this explanation might help a few of you out there.  Tim 
@timlub,
Given your expertise do you have any thoughts on the theoretical or practical advantages of utilizing series crossovers? They are definitely less common than their parallel alternatives.
