TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS


I ove this speakers , on my set up they sound really very dynamic and easy to listen. Is there anyway to replace their tweeters to improve them? I do love the design of the impact.Thanks

Porsche > Lamborghini just for the record.  Far greater racing heritage, history, number of fantastic cars produced.  You can take a GT3 to the track and beat on it all day, no so with a lambo.  Lambo only became a decent car when it became german.  Look up
Dauer 962, Porsche GT1, Carrera GT, 918, GT2 RS, GT3 RS, 911 Turbo S…

One time a guy is showing me his awesome Lambo engine, pointing out all the great features. Look at this! They have a spare throttle cable already installed! Sure enough. So why don't they just make the one cable so it doesn't break? Nevermind. lol!   

I used to be a regular at Squire's Autowerke. PCA President, Squire liked me. So many hours studying cars from the underside, engine parts, brakes, all of it. Not only Porsche. They got their share of Ferrari, et al in there.  

The other cars, once you get used to Porsche level design, they are just not there. Every 10 years Ferrari makes their statement car, supposed to be not only the best Ferrari can do, but the best the world can do. The F40 was the last one I saw. Relative to Porsche it looked like the work of some SoCal hot rodder.  

I am not kidding. One day the owner hits the wall, and it was big news, because the car went up in a fireball so intense the magnesium wheels burned a crater in the track. You might think what a horrific crash. But the truth is the car barely grazed the wall. Ferrari used a fuel tank instead of a fuel cell. Then they welded the aluminum filler to the aluminum tank. No hose, no strain relief. So any old 15mph collision of this critical part would rip a hole spilling fuel all over the place.   

Within hours- literally hours - of this event we heard about it down at Laguna Seca, where we were for the Historics. By the time we heard we also knew there was not a single fuel cell to be had on the West Coast. All the Ferrari guys heard the horror story and snapped them all up.   

Lambo, Ferrari, whatever. You can have em. They are not Porsche. Not even.

"3 of my tweeters both sides including both centers were fried, my fault got carried away I push the impact more than they are capable of. No warranty covered."

I am surprised. With a "400 Watt power handling" I wouldn't think you could completely destroy both speakers and not be covered by the warranty. Then I read the warranty.    

"5-Year Warranty
​Tekton Design warranties all parts on its loudspeakers for up to 5 years, with the exception of defects due to improper or unreasonable use, accidents, and alterations or modifications, or burnt voice coils."

So, even if the voice coils can't handle the recommended power rating you are out of luck. That doesn't seem fair

Forget about calling Eric, if I owned Tektons; I would be calling millercarbon to modify them. Atleast I know post modification they would sound like $30k speakers cause everything mc modifies, they magically starts to sound and compete against components that cost 3x, 5x or even 10x its price

I've got a deal for you my friend. I'm going to buy some Tektons and call Eric. I have no idea what I'm going to talk to him about, but I've been told repeatedly that this is the first step on the journey to audio nirvana. Next, I will upgrade the drivers with another set of excellent Chinese drivers made from half-chewed (by exotic Pandas) bamboo wood arranged in weird psychedelic patterns (god willing and patent pending). And because you're such a gentleman, I'm going to strategically place schumann resonance generators on cable lifters. Then I'll put the cable lifters on Townshend podiums for extra impact. And finally, I will carefully place this contraption inside a set (of 3) Russian dolls. The Tektons are big enough to hold several Moab-sized egos around here, so I'm quite sure I'll be able to fit the whole thing nicely.

At that point, I can assure you it will handily beat the crap out of any speaker up to $100K ... both figuratively and literally. I will personally deliver the speakers to your house and will gladly take your lowly Canterbury's + an extra $15k in exchange. If you need proof, I will send you several testimonials by random strangers I invite into my home every now and then. If that's not enough, I can send you videos of my cats with dropped jaws and sniffing and drooling all over the beautiful lacquer paint job. 

Let me know. This kind of deal only comes around once in a century. This is what they call the grandmother of the mother of all bombs (GMOAB).

P.S. -- While we're at it, I can also take your silly little Accuphase and give you the gift of life aka Raven Audio Blackhawk.
