I posted this in another thread on the LTA-MZ2:

I attended the LA Audio Show this past weekend specifically to listen to the Double Impacts and the Spatials.

The room and the equipment used to demo the Double Impacts did not do them any justice and I could not pull the trigger based on my listening experience. The room was hosted by Positive Feedback and they were showcasing low cost, high value systems so there were multiple speakers and components. For the Double Impacts, they were using a Schiit Freya preamp and a Schiit pre-production amp.

Very unfortunate as I really wanted to like the Double Impacts. I was able to sit in the designated sweet spot while listening. In a dedicated Tekton room with different components, they would probably sound great. I just couldn't get past the way they sounded in that room.
I respectfully disagree.   I was in 3 other rooms at the show where the speakers I was interested in sounded great - the Mark Audio SOTA, the ELAC Adante and Spatial Audio room.  Granted, some were being driven by components that I could not afford, but I realized that I was hearing what those speakers 'could' do.

It may be useless for you but it was not useless for me

In my original post I did say

"In a dedicated Tekton room with different components, they would probably sound great. I just couldn't get past the way they sounded in that room."

I do think the Tektons are good speakers based on the feedback from quite a number of people in various threads, including yourself. Ironically, if I hadn't heard them at LAAS,  I may have ordered them without listening to them first. 

As it is, on Monday after the show, I ordered the Spatial Hologram M3 Turbo S and am anxiously awaiting delivery.
