Those that upgraded from Tekton


What did you move on to?

 

I think it’s time I move on from my DIs, I really like how they sound but they are just too big and opposing for my room. Would be interested in something front ported as I have a room that is wide but not deep (speakers are 8 ft away from listening position and only 1 ft from back wall).

Was thinking Cornwall IV maybe or something from Salk but those might not be an upgrade from the DI.

And please don’t come here just to talk crap about Tekton……….

At 3am. this morning....thoroughly enjoying Miles D. and Linda R. on my Tekton Pendragons ( w/ 7 speaker tweeter array) and a little Makers Mark on the rocks. Was in Audio heaven with the Clearaudio Aurum Beta S cart. I love to just enjoy the Music and forget about what equipment is producing it. Heard the Volti in Tampa and was not impressed. Heard the Fritz and loved it.Alta Audio speakers are something special also. My next speakers will probably be the Cornwall IV...good luck to you.

Tannoy or Tekton....hmmm let me think about it.....

 

Seriously, I often forget about Tannoy and need to fix that.    Definitely an alternative to Tekton these days.

I really liked the Song 3 Encores at the RMAF.  Unfortunately, I had already purchased my speakers.  Wish I had waited for the show.  They sounded better than a $60,000 system next door.  However, Jim Salk was playing them through a pair of tube Monoblock's.  I wonder if the tube amps had something to do with it.  Maybe there is something about tube to consider?

Have you thought about Atc? I don’t know if they’re better or worse than what you got; probably they are just different. They do well close to a wall because they’re sealed and the SCM 40, for example, is a relatively small speaker compared to yours. You can get them used for around 4K, so it will fit your budget. See if you can find an opportunity to listen. I love mine.
