@coralkong Your finding a $10k Speaker at $2K.
That must be almost the parts value only, to have working speakers from a well known Brand for this outlay must have been extremely pleasing.
How do these models suit your listening preferences.
Tekton Open Baffle Speakers
I see they have new open baffle speakers with 15 inch woofers that can be pre-ordered for 3000 bucks. After the pre-order period they will be 7K.
Has anyone heard a prototype of this speaker? At this price point it's tempting to order and sell if I don't like it. I have 4 two channel systems and a vibrant stereo kit graveyard.

@pindac, I really enjoy my EP speakers (I think they're the 2.8's with 2X 15" Carbon woofers, a 12" Carbon mid and a concentric tweeter, upgraded wiring and stock external crossovers). My only complaint would be the tweeter could be a little smoother, but that's nitpicking, really. Yeah, quite a score. I listen to mostly classical, hard rock and jazz, and I have no complaints. I do run a Rythmik dual 12" servo sub, too. Overall, the presentation is very good. I would describe the setup as extremely musical. At this point, I don't think I could go back to a box-type speaker. At least not one I could afford. (BTW, I also own a pair of Tekton Enzo XL's w/ upgraded Beryllium tweeters. Honestly, there's no comparison. 2 entirely different speakers with 2 entirely different presentations.) OB offers a lot of advantages if you have the room and the patience to dial them in. JM2CW.

I run two sets of Speakers myself at present, Stacked ESL's and Floor Standing Cabinets housing Audax Carbon Fibre Drivers for both Mid and Bass with a Audax HD P4 Gold Dome Piezo Tweeter. The Cabinets are a coloured sonic compared to the ESL's but in comparison to typical Cabinet Speakers are on the transparent side. I have the Cabinet Speakers mainly for adding a increase to the Richness of Tone to my sessions of listening to Blues Music, especially the performers who become mainstream as Chicago Blues Artists. Additionally, I have a full set of drivers stored to be used to produce a OB Speaker. Drivers have gone through the roof in purchase prices in the past few years. I certainly would not own all the drivers I have at present in storage if I were to collect them in todays market.
