Happy New Year, all...in my respectful opinion, the Tekton Pendragons and Double Impacts absolutely trounce anything in what most serious music listeners would consider a very modest price bracket. I've the very good fortune of working in the music industry and have access to a panoply of equipment, from the most basic to outlandishly esoteric, pretty much on demand. I have either owned or spent significant amounts of time with B&W 800D's, PMC IB2 and MB2's, ATC 150's, GoldenEar Triton Ones and Twos, various Tannoy models including System 15 DMTII's and Super Red / Gold, Klipschorns / La Scalas / Cornwalls, Wavetouch Mt. Raniers and Grand Tetons, several Wilson Audio models from the Sasha to the MAXX 3, Magico...you get the idea. All of the aforementioned are superb speakers and generally excel in at least one or two areas, but the Tekton models I've owned and heard compete at the highest levels in ALL areas and provide--for me, at least--an unparalleled degree of visceral impact and pure emotional engagement while sacrificing nothing in terms nuance, detail, imaging, etc. They are superb.
