Tekton Double Impact SE vs Kef R7 Meta

You have a nice sized room.

Tekton tends to slay and filet the kefs, wilsons, etc, at a fraction of the cost, if you’re ok with its WAF score...(Many high end speakers have walked in and out of my house). Get the Moab model, price is only a tad more than the double impact. 

They are high sensitivity, but, you would get better results from using a high current amp.

p.s. there are many different types of tektons, but, imo, the symmetrical arrays are the best ones.

 We listen primarily to rock, metal, and electronic music. My room is rather large. It’s a 19’x 39’ great room (living room, dining room, and kitchen. 

You don't have near enough amp to do the KEF's justice. You need a lot more current. Also, with a room that large and your music preference, perhaps might want to check out some horn systems like Klipsch or JBL.

Just as an aside, I am a KEF fan and currently have the R3 Meta speakers, However, I also have an M80 Yamha amp that outputs well in excess of 300wpc to 4 Ohms.

April fools is a month away! ROFL!!

Years ago I heard the best Tektons and they reminded me of the old old cerwin Vega speakers, no tonality, just loud.

The Kef’s are a musical speaker. Will they play as loud as the tektons, probably not, will they have the bigger louder bloated bass like the tektons, no. So if you like a musical sounding speaker that plays at normal listening levels, get the Kef’s 

Thank you for the responses and insights everyone. On the plus side, this isn't a decision I need to make tomorrow or anything. Obviously the real answer here is that I need to listen to them to really make a decision. Every now and then, I see some Tektons for sale in my area, so I'll just have to see if I can audition them. The KEFs are obviously much easier to hear being that Best Buy carries them. Thanks again everyone!

Hi, I have both the R8 and Tekton Moab’s 

the R8 did an awesome job with them as temp situation. The Moab’s now residents my Music Room. I love the sound, full, well bodied and not bright, just right. The bass after break in was amazing I don’t use subs with them there’s no need. I replaced B&W 804’s with the Moab’s and haven’t looked back!  I’d call Eric at Tekton give him your musical listening tastes and The R8 as the power source. I was originally targeting the DI’s and he suggested the Moab’s as the better for my preferences. You’re right anything Tekton raises eyebrows on here, I’d buy another pair if something happened to my current Moab’s!
