Tekton Double Impact SE vs Kef R7 Meta

OP ask Erik about your room size , He can explain it to you. I happen to watch his video regarding room size.Michael Fremmer  room is so small for his Wilson as well , I guess it’s works.

Rbstehno, with respect to you I disagree 100%. How can you trash Tekton on one seating. By the way I own ps 12 Tekton and impact monitor . If I have not purchase my impact monitor after I listen to them at axpona many yrs ago . I will not buy them, They did not sound good at all still better than Cerwin Vega, though they are not match with the system and the music being played is also not right for the speakers. Give my regards to John , I hope he is ok.

It always comes down to personal preference.

I’ve heard the Tektons and they were perfectly fine if big and bulky has appeal.   Will also work better than KEFs with most tube amps if that’s what you want.  I’d consider a Rogue Cronus Magnum as a very good option.

Otherwise teh KEF meta line top to bottom is pretty close to the gold standard at various price points in terms of objective measured performance, but you need a amp with a lot of drive for best results. I use Class D Hypex and GanFet based amps with the ls50s for optimal performance and value.  Read up on the KEFs as needed....every speaker is different and always advantageous to understand their sonic attributes like amp requirements, dispersion pattern, setup, etc.

I have KEF ls50meta + sub in a very good quality detailed setup and love it.  Pretty much close to reference standard sound I would say.

I also have much bigger Ohm Walsh F5s and have kept Ohm Walsh speakers around now for over 40 years.   These are the bomb but a totally different kind of presentation....more like a live performance in your room than recordings..   Check out www.ohmspeakers.com perhaps if not familiar.

I also like and own Sonus Faber, but this is a much different kind of sound, warmer easy on the ears, and never in your face.

Different strokes.   I wish I could have one of each.  I already have no less than 9 pair of speakers running in the house.

You could have very nice looking and sounding good speakers if you have the knowledge and money. Sonus faber and Wilson will give it to you. Erik is very clear ,His speakers are for those who can’t afford expensive speakers who can enjoy music for less price. Your call not his. 

Mapman I do love Kef 105 and 107 and the Ls50. I totally agree with you.Matternof preference.
