Thomas Cederquist –
These speakers were ordered the middle August 2023. They were delivered the first part of November. I ordered them with the basic black with red wave guides (the things that look to me like flowers). Tektons web site doesn’t mention it but there are a number of other colors that can be chosen for the wave guides: red, blue, green yellow/gold, black, white or purple. The wave guides can also be painted any color you want. My choice was to have a contrast so that the speakers “made a statement”.
Down side – these are big box speakers. You need the room to put them in including room on the sides.
How they sound. When I received them the base (2 15” woofers) were harsh. I put some foam stuffed socks it the 2 front port holes to soften the base during the break in. I have an Anthem AVM 70 processor and an over kill with a Parasound A31 amp. I also raised how low the base goes. After a week or 2 the socks were removed and the base was readjusted. The horn speakers sounded great from the start. It was only the woofers that needed the break in. The only room correction that I used was to measure the distance from the listening position to the speakers.
I use the speakers in my TV room for both watching TV and listening to music. They are great. I don’t know how to explain it but sound that comes out is effortless. The speakers just disappear. The sound doesn’t come from the speakers. I don’t know how to explain it but the sound it is just there in front of you. They do not make what some call a “horny sound”. I listen to a wide variety of music in addition to the TV. These speakers handle everything with no effort. I don’t even use the center channel speaker anymore.
I have several pieces of music that I use to see if the speakers can handle them. These are the intro to 2001 Space Odyssey, Riders in the Sky, Billy Jean (Michael Jackson) and Easy Money by Sant Andreu Jazz Band (2011) and Cantate Domino – Oh Holy Night. These speakers are, as I said before, effortless. The organ in Oh Holy Night sounds like an organ not just a load harsh rumble. You can see the drummer 2001 Space Odyssey pounding the drum.
I would buy these speakers gain.
