Tekton speaker comparison thread


Hey all the purpose of this thread is for Tekton owners and those who have had/heard Tekton speakers to write their impressions on how they compared to other speakers they have owned (especially more expensive ones). Please refrain from flaming and aggression, just want to create friendly discussion that is focused specifically on comparisons (ideally in the same room and with the same electronics).
In the other tekton threads there is a lot of positive feedback but often I find there is no actual comparison so its hard to know where someone is coming from when they give their impressions.

Hi Benarritt,

You purchased the first pair of all Be DI’s and I recall us going back and forth about the speaker producing a bit too much upper midrange and being a bit too forward. I proposed we adjust the speaker and you chose to ship them back over allowing me to make the minor adjustments to the speaker. Think of it as a sound engineer adjusting a volume pot on a mixing console. I took your critique seriously, made a few new measurements, and ultra-fine-tuned the new design. While sound is entirely subjective I can assure everyone viewing this thread the Double Impact all Be is absolutely magical. We’ve even placed the identical all Be array in the smaller Electron model and it’s magical too. IMO, you cannot do better than going all Be in the midrange like we do with the new Matrix array model.

@tektondesign  Eric so good to hear you are a proponent of measure and listen. Some here, including your fanboy Albert lack that essential understanding. My best to you.

Hello Tekton owners/aficionados, I’m getting ready to take the leap into the Ulfberht club and am looking for anyone within a few hours drive from Northern Virginia who would allow me to hear their speakers.  I heard the Moabs briefly a few years ago at a show and liked them, but really need to hear the Ulfs or the Moab’s again.  I’ve got a pretty decent wine cellar and would love to bring something nice with me to either share or leave for my host.  I’d also be happy to have folks come listen to the Dynaudio Consequence Ultimates I have now as a comparison.

@pinwa which speaker did you have in your system that had more microdetail?

@audioezra care to comment on the difference between Double impact SE and SF lilium ? Thanks!
