Tekton Double Impacts

@charles1dad ,

Drum solo at the beginning of Eleven is unreal cranked to 11 ;-). You can check out a video of this on YouTube on the Pendragon to give you a little bit of an idea.

I wasn’t comparing the performance of the Pendragon to the DI, (which seems to be in a class of its own in the Tekton line). Simply making an observation on this speaker and that it will not provide optimal SQ when demoed in an untreated room.

I’ve been following this thread and absorbing information regarding a possible speaker for my 12’ x 16’ room. Enzo 2.7 seems like a fit at 40" high and dual 8" drivers, and has a similiar tweeter array to the DI.
I’ll need to research this further. Any comments on the Enzo 2.7 are welcome, as long as you feel it adds to the discussion.

Glad you're enjoying them mofojo. Your impressions are spot on, thanks for sharing. 

FWIW lowrider, the DI's would sound just fine in your room. My room is only slightly larger at 13x17......but it is heavily treated. Bass traps would probably be needed most. The Enzo's would also work, but the DI's would be amazing. 

I have the Enzo 2.7's in my home theater setup. They are good for that role, but lack the bass of the Double Impacts. Not as detailed as the DI's, either.

I finally got my Transmitter amps hooked up to the DI's, and the sound is glorious. Rich and full bodied is how I would describe the sound compared to the solid-state amp I was using before. I can crank them up without the sound becoming harsh. No straining whatsoever. Had to replace my preamp as the DI's revealed it's short-comings. Vocals and live recordings sound especially sweet now.

I have no doubt that the NAT Transmitter amplifier is a top tier product and I'm sure a superb match with the DI speakers.

Last night thought I would listen to a cut or two from Alan Parson's Eye in the Sky.  Yea right.  So the whole CD sounded great!  Then I played E.S.  POSTHUITIUS , UNEARTHED.  This CD is a kick.  It features the Seattle Choral Co. with orchestra melded  with electronica and a host of other unusual instruments.  The DI's produced the nice tight deep bass line on this CD impressively.  Even more awesome was how I was hearing a percussion/synthesized? instrument what would shoot 5 feet to the right of my right speaker. HUGE  sound stage.

This morning returned to Haydn Trio Eisenstadt.  They have an 8CD box set up Haydn's piano trios.  May  be the best box  set I have ever bought.  Great recording quality and performance. (buy it!)  The DI's perfectly place the three instruments in space.  The tonal quality is just superb!  You really feel transported into the recording venue.  The strings are rich, detailed, and I feel like their harmonics are all there in full measure.  I've said before that it is such a pleasure to listen to the piano on the DI's.  It just sounds so clear, full, detailed  and dynamic. You just better  experience the nuance of the musicians performance.
