Very Disappointed with Tekton Double Impacts

I have heard them and thought 'Too each his own'......

Tektons are a love/hate type of speakers - so are Zu. I have heard both and to me, they were not worth the money, but that is me.

 

I am not an audiophile - I have a tin ear (my wife says so 😁 ).

 

That said, you need to think what type of sound you want out of a speaker. I have been slowly looking and for I found my Revel M126Be's and using 2 REL 7/ti subs for the bottom end. For me, it sounds exactly what I wanted. It took a while for me to find this combo.

 

Just keep looking.

 

Questions

1. Budget?

2. Music types listened to?

3. Volume?

4. Room size?

 

I try to fill these in first and then look to see what fits for me. I also go to listen, if I can. I am lucky to be in the Northern Chicago suburbs  and there are many dealers here. 

 

I don't believe in speaker break in. It usually takes very little to break in (that is from a material science point of view). IF you didn't like them at the beginning, no amount of 'break in' will change that.

Small Room - Small speakers with lots of BOOM ( really the subs are dialed in very low) :D  My very cheap room treatments (at least they aren't paper...). They work.

@PhilBaroneThe most important thing in this hobby is to enjoy the music After all, that is ultimately what we put these systems together for, anyway. 

 

Everyone has different likes and dislikes. There is only the method and equipment that works best for you that is important.

 

I hope you will enjoy the ProAc's - Let us know how it goes.
