An Objective Review of the Tekton Double Impact Speakers

" MC...Please ,your shilling of Tekton is as obvious as your lack of knowledge of true quality audio speakers..Tekton is junk!No idea why this site allows you and the rest of the clown posse to post such bs."

You could be right but I think I might have a good handle on sound being a musician and an respected instrument maker.  But I'll give you that I lack knowledge of audio gear.  However, THE WAY I JUST SETUP my new Klipsch, it beats them fairly easily by my ear and a few other professional musicians I've had listen to them.  Now, it could have been a setup issue so I'm going to give them another try.  

But as for you, dude, name-calling? If you ask me people that do that should be suspended for a bit and give you a little time out.  We're here to help each other.  

Thank you Doug, I'm beginning to think it was a setup thing too.  Do they need to be far from the back wall?  Maybe you'd like to earn a few bucks and help me set them up via FaceTime or Zoom.  Shoot me a PM if you're so inclined.

For perspective I used to have a high end audio store back in the 90’s and carried speakers ranging from $5k to $30k in 1990’s dollars.

I’m pretty good at setting up a room and tweaking speaker placement.  I downsized my system about a year ago when I got tired of pushing around 180-pound amps, etc.

 I bought the Tekton 2-10 Perfect SET because that was the heaviest speaker I could get upstairs.

it took a while to get them in the right place in an irregular room.

IMO they are fabulous, and compare well with some of the best speakers I’ve ever heard.

A snare drum sounds like a snare drum, a Steinway like a Steinway and Rickie Lee Jones and Jim Morrison both sound like themselves.  Dynamics are wonderful.

 I can only guess the OP hasn’t got them placed correctly or he has serious flaws in his front end setup.

"Phil,

Any early impressions of the Fortes? You like Em so far?"

So far the Klipsch has them beat substantially but given that a really great musician/audiophile told me a couple of days ago that he loves his DI's I'm going to try to futz about with placement again of the DI in a couple of weeks but the Klipsch don't knock me out.  Considering I'm inexperienced at this and how much money I've spent, I feel let down but the problem could be positioning or that I expect too much from recorded music.  I mean, I've always listened to music for the content. not the quality and I listen to some old music where the recordings are kinda sucky.  

Hope everybody has a good memorial day weekend.  Phil

Best of luck getting them both set up. I think you should become an audio reviewer in your retirement. You have a refreshing no holds barred style that’s different from all the usual *ss kissing paycheck chasers. The only problem is I don’t think anyone would ever lend you a product in a million years. You might have to go incognito for a while. Enjoy!

I'm considering reviewing lots of different products, not just audio and it will always be a no holds barred approach. After all, I am from NYC.  In fact, if more audiophiles reviewed their stuff, it would be a heck of a lot better for all of us instead of us watching a bunch of clowns who never say anything negative about anything and act like their sipping cognac on their high horses with no background in having actually studied music.  And people listen to them! I listened to them!  Exactly what qualifies a person to review gear if they're not a musician, because they've listened to a lot of gear? When was the last time you ever heard any of the professional reviewers who get perks say anything negative? And if you read a review in a magazine, if the person writing it and the manufacturer advertises in their magazine, it's corrupted right on it's face. The whole system is corrupt if you ask me.
