Tekton Double Impact SE vs Kef R7 Meta
Hello everyone, I’m looking for some help with my eventual upgrade path. I currently have a pair of Kef Q350 being powered by a Willsenton R8. I enjoy the clarity, detail, and instrument separation of the Kef’s, but they can be a bit polite. Soundstage is great as well, tonal balance is good as well. I’ve been looking at the R7 metas figuring they have similar sound characteristics as the Q350s just with more refinement and overall better sound, but I realize the Willsenton might be a bit underpowered (especially in triode mode) to really make them sing. Tekton is a name that keeps coming up in my research. I realize they can be a bit of a controversial choice do to some of the issues they’ve had with reviewers. All I really am concerned with is, how do they actually sound. I really want to keep that clarity that the KEFs have. 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.
I’d like to hear from people that have had experience with either of these speakers with similar amplification and what their thoughts are. I’m also open to other speaker suggestions. Thank you!

FWIW I was searching online pics of Moab’s And DI’s and I came across a pair that were built to order with dark walnut veneer, they looked great ! Hey OZZY were you able to hear Moab’s Vs DI’s in the same setting ? Just curious of the difference. 😆 Regarding the Bose 901’s , I was in a restaurant that was a country affair and the bar looked like a big party barn. They had a vintage Pioneer receiver and suspended 901’s , it was pretty cool and the sound was acceptable . One of the things that really improved my soundstage were the Townshend Podiums, I’d hazard to guess that they’ed be great for the Kef’s too. Way off topic, but considering the amp you have , what about the Volti Razz ? |
@dstryker77 Join this FB Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/135142323767796), ask the group who is close by you with DI SE, who is willing to let you listen to their speaker. Bring a cake or 6 pack. That's what I did. The Tekton community is very inviting; a lot of people are willing to open their doors to strangers. I got my MOAB after a gracious MOAB owner showed me his. I like Tektons for being Dynamic with incredible mid-range.
