My pair was ordered 6/8, so about 3 weeks. Shipped to NY. Very impressive considering he was down 1-2 staff members for a time.
Tekton Double Impacts
Anybody out there heard these??
I have dedicated audio room 14.5x20.5x9 ft. Currently have Marantz Reference CD/Intergrated paired to Magnepan 1.7's with REL T-7 subs. For the vast majority of music I love this system. The only nit pick is that it is lacking/limited in covering say below 35 hz or so. For the first time actually buzzed the panel with an organ sacd. Bummer. Thought of upgrading subs to rythmicks but then I will need to high pass the 1.7's. Really don't want to deal with that approach.
Enter the Double Impacts. Many interesting things here. Would certainly have a different set of strengths here. Dynamics, claimed bottom octave coverage in one package, suspect a good match to current electronics.
I've read all the threads here so we do not need to rehash that. Just wondering if others out there have FIRST HAND experience with these or other Tekton speakers
Thanks.

Yep, it’s all about the right marketing! Just look at the bottle water industry. In most cases, their product is inferior, but they sell like crazy! Thanks, jcarcopo! From what everyone says, I don’t expect DIs or other Tekton to sound bright. I was more worried that they are just too much sound for my space... even though I have a fairly large space. Those speakers almost look large enough to be PA speakers for a band. I know... not really... but you get my point. I don’t want to feel "pushed out" of my listening space. That’s why I’m thinking maybe the DIs are too big for me? One thing that would help me on Eric's site is if he had pictures in rooms with equipment and people to show relative size. I know there is a customer gallery, but really only a few pics for each model. |
Mac, Thanks so much for your thoughts on this matter. A big concern for me would be that the DI's would be too imposing in my 11x15 room and lack a gentler side which I often prefer nowadays. Up to now I have been leaning a little more towards either the Electron, the Brilliance, or even the Impact monitor. Size and weight is a concern though being I'm not the workout warrior I once was. Best Wishes, LP |
I know that YouTube is not the last word in high fidelity but sometimes you can glean the potential of something just buy listening, source not withstanding. Having said that, there is a nice video of the Double Impact playing and if you have reasonably good resolution, hifi wise, on your computer, you should take a listen. It certainly whets my appetite. All the best, Nonoise |
Soundermn: Actually Eric has a tool on his site that I have not seen elsewhere and I personally found it useful. It is a graphic of a man standing next to the various speakers and shows them in relation to a man. That helped me. Not sure it is what you are looking for, but if you have not seen it, it is worth a look. |
