dstryker77 - I do have to ask a hypothetical question; If Enzo Ferrari was a total tool, a real "dipstick", would you hate his automobile creations and call them trash too? Not to compare Eric to him, but most brilliant innovators are often passionate and eccentric, sometimes to an excess about their work. That is often part of the price you pay when you’re in that realm. I should know, I’m brilliant in the world of manufacturing and mechanical design 
. Actually, even today their are many people we love to hate; Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckurberg and we must not forget the likes of Elon Musk or Steve Jobs.
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!

@jcatdcat I'm only interested in the quality of the product. I totally agree with your comparison to someone like a Jeff Bezos. People love to talk crap about how evil Amazon is, but man do they love their 2 day shipping lol. I knew there was a risk of the conversation devolving into something like this (usually does on forums, regardless of the topic) but hey, at least a couple of people were helpful. For now, I’m just gonna keep my eye on the used market, or maybe hit up the Facebook group and see if someone will let me audition some. I’m in no hurry. I’m at least 6 months out from making a decision so I’m in a good position here. Thank you for your help! |
dstryker77 - I'm in a holding patten as well, waiting for my ML Montis/Abyss combo to sell. Already talking with AA about my next forey back into the shimmering light, the blissful homage to that which I can term asl my "Aural Grail Quest".
