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.

@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.     

@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.

 

The Siegfried Linkwitz "Orion" speakers are natural sounding and superb examples of open baffle design. Check "Linkwitz Lab.com" for more info.

These people are late to the OB party. Better late than never. We built these from solid wood frames of Ash, Maple, and Mahogany back in 2010 or so. Didn’t turn out to bad.
