This speaker is going to make it difficult for other speaker manufacturers out there to justify their price

It’s amazing how many people here make fun of these speakers, criticize them, and make claims about them not sounding good, etc, etc, etc without ever hearing them or understanding the design of them with their tweeter arrays. Totally clueless.

Eric does a great job explaining the advantages of his tweeter array in this video.

Wish I’d known about them, as I would have liked to have heard them at RMAF. Heard way too many speakers for way more money that sucked.

I was able to hear these at RMAF, and like you, heard some suck-y speakers with much higher price tags.

I love the idea of more and newer audio companies bringing new designs to market. If Tekton can bring new excitement to this crazy hobby great. What’s not to like.

46

What did you think of the Tektons?

47

My experience with them was short, at Axpona in SoCal. They sounded like a vibrating box in the trunk of a car!

Thanks

I may pull the trigger too knowing return shipping isn’t in the thousands. Looking forward to reading your impression, if you decided to go ahead with these

Well, I have Double Impacts in my house and they said absolutely fantastic. They sound nothing like anything in the trunk of a car. They pair wonderfully with both my old 80’s era Pioneer M-22 Class A amp and my much newer Class A/B KT88 tube amp.

The only components of my 2 channel setup I might still upgrade are my speakers. The Tekton Encore speakers are at the top of my shortlist.

I heard the Impact monitors on stands. IMO, not high on any list.

Others strongly disagree with you:

Has any model speaker from Tekton been reviewed by TAS or Stereophile? I have noticed a lot of ads from Tekton in those mags.
I’ve never heard any of their offerings, but would like to.

54

Fantastic! I don’t agree with others!

If you check one of the larger Tekton threads over on Audiogon you can probably find somebody close to you.

Thanks to you guys.
I’m really curious about this speaker even though I’m not in the market at present.
I might be able to find an owner in my local audio club.

First time I’ve read about the MOAB/Encore hybrid.
Thanks for posting
