If I were you Id get onto other sites that dont have Tekton owners trying to support their purchases.The DIs have been touted as mount Rushmore speakers here but just so so on other sites,"good for the money" speakers,Ive read that a lot .I havent heard Tekton but I did speak with a good buddy on the west coast who auditioned the double impacts at length as well as the new mini DIs..Not refined at all,more of a rock and roll JBL 70s type speaker,the fit and finish along with the drivers and crossovers are basically what one would expect for a 3 grand speaker,his words.If I were you Id take the time and go listen to these speakers your thinking about buying and not go by the hype or over hype from users on this site,and certainly not go by what the guy thats selling them is telling you,Use your own ears and make the call.If they sound great to you,pull the trigger but going on what others tell you is just foolish, IMO...oooh you might want to consider this company is adding ,upgrading,speakers at an alarming rate....and we all know or should know that the speakers we have once upgraded to a new version makes values dump ie. Raidho.
Wilson Audio Duette 2's vs Tekton Ulf's
Help...I am going crazy reading the Tekton DI forum. And now there are comments regarding the Ulf. I have a pair of Wilson Audio Duette 2's. I have two Triad Silver in wall Subwoofers to complement the bass from the Duette 2's. My integrated tube amp is Raven Audio Reflection MK2 with 58wpc. That combination has been absolutely awesome for me in a room that is 30'wide x 40' long. Yes, I know not the perfect listening room but the music that comes out of my system sounds like a concert hall. In addition, I have a Lumin A-1 DAC / Music Streamer and a Synology hard drive for music storage. I love my system. This is strictly 2- channel as I have a separate dedicated theater room also.
Originally, for fun I was going to buy the Tekton DI and just compare them to the Duette 2's. I figured I would compare the two speakers and sell the ones that I did not like as much. Yes, they are two totally different speakers. Then, the Ulf's came out and Eric said they blow the doors off of the DI's. Naturally, I am interested in the Ulf's. However, in this situation, I would need to sell my Duette 2's before ordering the Ulf's. Am I crazy? I am comparing the Duette's that cost $23k vs a Tekton Mini or Ulf at $7.5k to 12k.
I live in the Phoenix area. If there are any audiophiles out here that would not mind listening to my current system and telling me what you think I would love to hear your comments. It is very hard for me to give an objective opinion on my system. Like I said I love it....but like all of us, if there is a way to improve it we do it. I just don't know if the Tekton Ulf's are an upgrade over my Wilson's.
