An Objective Review of the Tekton Double Impact Speakers


philbarone

I bought a pair of Tekton Design Double Impact Special Edition. I have had them for 1 week so really not broken in at all. Overall I have been impressed with the sound given the cost. I can’t justify spending $10K -$30K or more for speakers... so for a full range solution I think they sound even better than my Vandersteen 2CE with Rythmik subs but I will delay final judgement till after a month of play...

I ended up with a pair of rebuild Proac Tesponse 3’s for less money that smoked the Tektons. 

People are free to buy what they like. It's freedom. Not sure what the problem is? The OP got what he liked..yes? And if it does not like what he has now, he can sell those speakers and buy something else which is what the majority of people here at AG do?!?!

smoked the Tektons. 

When I see phrases like this, or "blows away", I just shake my head and move on. Reads like something a 15 yr old would write. But, to each his own........

There isn't a single product on the market that is loved by everyone; some will love the Tekton speakers, others will not.  But, there are so many hate postings that are probably not based on actual listening experience because it is not easy to audition speakers that are directly sold to the consumer.  Yes, there is a ridiculous amount of hype of this brand, but, that does not mean it doesn't have merit.  I've heard both the Double Impacts and Moab at shows, and I think they sound pretty good, particularly when price is considered.  The tradeoff for the cheap price from cutting out the middlemen is that the consumer assumes some of the risk--if he doesn't like the speaker, he has to pay for return freight.  If you don't like this situation, audition the speaker at a show or look at something else; there is no shortage of speakers on the market.
