Any Tekton users in UK???


I keep reading rave reviews about these speakers.

Tekton don’t have a distributor in UK or Europe.

Just wondered if anyone in UK has managed to get hold of a pair?



.......and are they as good as they say?

@singingtheblues  --  There are a great many folks who have had great experiences with Tekton, quite of few who love the speakers but had some irritation waiting for weeks or months for their grills, a few who tried them and found they weren't their cup of tea, and (weirdly) a handful of trolls who, like tonykay here, pop up from time to time to offer nothing but a cupful of snark. I hope you get a chance to hear or try a pair. I've had three pairs (the Double Impacts, Double Impacts SEs, and now the Encores), and in my opinion, they are amazing speakers if given a fair amount of time to break in. Best Wishes...


@bigwave1 --  To be perfectly candid, I am not much of a measurements guy, unless something sounds way off. I do like efficient speakers because they provide more flexibility in choosing a wide range of amps.

I have been happy with all three sets of Tekton speakers I have had. Further, I think all three sound good-to-excellent at lower volumes. A comparison is complicated, if not impossible, because I am driving my Encores with a different amp than I had when I owned the Double Impacts, and I think that is an important factor.

Having said that, the Encores driven by my Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 sound better at lower volumes than any system I have ever had in my room, and that is one of the reasons I am so pleased with this system. The sound is excellent across the range, from low to high volume, never giving up anything at low volume or becoming too strident at high volume. I've been very pleased. I know that's not exactly the answer you are looking for, but I hope it may be helpful in some way.
