Last week I had the privilege of swinging by teajay's house to give the DI's a listen. I'm a bit late to share my thoughts on this thread, but wanted to offer my humble opinion...
Wow! "Jaw-dropping..... especially for the money" is what's still resonating with me a week later. How can Tekton build and sell speakers of this quality for $3k shipped? Amazing.
We listened to a range of music types and the DI's handled each with aplomb. There was a relaxed sense of ease with these speakers. They released the notes effortlessly. Excellent timbre and the sense of decay was palpable. The "air and space" was appropriate for each each recording - they had a sense of scale for larger recordings and an intimacy on classic audiophile-female-voice recordings. The speakers disappeared too - with a wide soundstage. Excellent low-level detail and a strong sense of slam/macro-dynamics.
While we didn't push them too hard, my feeling is these speakers will ROCK.
One could have lots of fun rotating through supporting electronics (1 watt!?!?) with the DI's not being a limiting factor in associated equipment selection.
Of course teajay's reference-grade equipment, room, and set-up contributed to the overall experience, but in no way did these $3k speakers seem like a weak link in the chain.
They are pretty large speakers. Pound-for-pound just jaw-dropping for the money and sonics. I can't imagine these will stay at $3k for long. Couple the sonics, frequency range and sensitivity with the price-point and they add-up to a value equation unique in the hifi industry.
