Which 30K Speakers Would You Give Up For Tekton Double Impacts?

Well they do sound pretty good out of the box in a well matched system and room. The additional hours do nothing but help. For some of us it’s that improved tonality and openness etc....that makes all the difference. I suppose to others these burn-in gains are not as dramatic or important. Again, even this is quite subjective.

I too have traded up to the DI SE now breaking in and the sound is so sweet.

@kdude66 ,

you should have kept those Janszens. As much as I enjoyed the  DIs, they never were quite on the same level as the Janszen zA2.1 hybrid electrostats. They are remarkable. Let’s see if the DI SE in my second system will get closer or surpass them.

Hi @waltersalas   I didn't know you had decided to move up to the SEs. Congratulations!!!

Lance,
I may get another set but David now can put 2 8 inch woofers in them and he offered a demo pair for me to try.I would have to cover shipping both ways and pay him a small rental fee.

I really like my double bass speakers and also silverline bolero supremes,so I don’t know if I will try them.

I wished he made a hybrid ESL that was bigger overall but not as big as the klh 9’s And wasn’t a dipole either.

My goal is to have 3 sets of nice speakers,and I have 2,and rotate them through my main system occasionally for a different flavor.
So I will be on the hunt for the 3rd pair and it definitely will not be a pair of Tekton anything.

Enjoy,
Kenny.

Thanks so much. I am really excited to try them after all the glowing reports, and after spending nine months enjoying the Double Impacts. It's hard to imagine the SEs could be much better, but I've been encouraged by the reports I've read!
