P05129 , I read good reviews at RMAF show regarding Tekton monitor impacts by Herb Reichert and his friend Victor , it’s a parasound and Tekton combo. I learned that year pre pandemic , they will be at Axpona.That time I already own the monitor impact ? Pair with Plinius sa100amp, Art audio preamp and Nordost Cabling and audio quest pc. They sound very good. When I listened to the impact monitor at axpona they sound terrible, because the amp they are using is proto type not out on the market yet.I also noticed the demo guy is not playing good music. People don’t even stay in the room to finish one song.If I heard that set up no way I will buy my impact monitors…now they are blaming the speakers . Not fair.
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
We have had many discussions/arguments over tekton speakers in the past, mainly involving a couple posters who thought their $4000 tektons sounded better than the highest price Wilson’s and other high budget speakers.
In the latest Stereophile magazine, they did a review of the $30,000 tekton’s. In this Steteophile issue, they rate these $30,000 tekton’s as class B. When you look at the other speakers that are in the class B section, you will notice most of these speakers range in price from $5000-$8000. So it looks like you have to spend $30,000 on a pair of tekton’s to equal a pair of $5000 Klipsch Forte IV’s sound quality.
If I compare these $30,000 class B tekton’s, to some of the class A speakers, there are some class A speakers for 1/2 the price (Dutch & Dutch 8C, Goldenear triton reference), or other class A speakers that are cheaper (Magico A5, Kef blade 2).

Ime, how much modification to the crossover circuitry a driver change necessitates really depends on the specifics. It might be that only a very few (if any) component values need be adjusted, and it might be that the entire crossover topology needs to be changed. The designer has access to those specifics, and we don’t. Duke |
gdnbob, Stop. Respectfully, your narrative is not grounded in truth and reality. Do your homework. Generally speaking, these types of modifications require slight adjustments and usually take an hour or two to correctly implement. I'd do a video but don't want to give away trade secrets. Understand there are simulation tools available today that can do a days work in 5 seconds. Furthermore, arguing with a guy that has more than a few patented crossover circuits isn't going result in a score for you on this topic. . Eric Alexander |
