Tekton Speakers,Who owns them and what did you replace and why.

Now obviously this thread has been started for the owners of any current model of Tekton speakers and if you haven't at least heard them keep your speculation to yourself.If you have heard or owned any current model and decided they aren't for you I would like to read your opinion as well.

This thread is intended for learning and furthering the enjoyment of music playback in our homes.

I own the Double Impacts myself and I will add bits of my story as this thread progresses,most of which has been posted in other threads,I want to hear from others.

Let her ripp,

Kenny.

@treebeard1  I'd be happy to.... PM me so I can help you more specifically. The Ones are good speakers and all the positive owner feedback and glowing reviews are well deserved.

BTW, I also auditioned the Triton Reference recently.

@mofojo Suprised to hear the bass was better in the DI.  Don't know how Eric does that.  TV is not that important for me.  Mostly watched while exercising.

@david_ten PM coming your way.  The GE Reference is out of my quasi-approved budget authorization, but I would still be interested in how the DIs comapre.

Ultimate bass extension I would give to the Triton. Mid bass and bass articulation I feel is better on the DIs. Obviously this will be more amplifier dependent on the DI. They are however very easy to drive. 
The DIs for me feel fuller and more articulated. I'm sure you wouldn't be disappointed with either. Maybe you should try and see if someone in your area has DIs you can audition.

My daughter is going to college in Chicago and I hope to stop by Audio Archon and listen.  Hopefully this fall.  There is a St. Louis audio club on Audio Circle.  I might check it out.

david_ten,

Quite a interesting journey too the arrival of your Tekton speakers and I'm glad to read that you have settled in for now and hopefully for a extended period,Life happens to us all and there's no better feeling than being settled in.

You are the 3rd person that has told me they originally brought in the Di speaker for HT duty,only to be completely shocked of this speakers overall musicality right out of the box and certainly not optimized in placement and upstream pairings.

I wanted to include all current Tekton speakers because everyone isn't going to gravitate towards the DI's and I do believe there are other good candidates in the lineup.
Some folks may say that Eric of Tekton has way to many choices and maybe so,I'm not him and I'm not going to debate that.

I have owned probably more than my share of speakers in my journey of 36yrs in this hobby and I can say without any doubts I'm still highly impressed and satisfied with mine.

Enjoy that music,
Kenny.
