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.

Add me to the list of those interested in your impressions of the KingKo, Bill. I'm still loving the MZ2 driving my DI's but will be adding an amp sometime this year and while I'm pretty much set on the Triode Labs 2A3S-FFX, the KingKo could be something to play with until I get it. I should probably try my vintage HH Scott 340B and Magnovox console tube amp or even my Decware Torii MK IV with the MZ2.........but I'm enjoying the MZ2 too much to try anything else! My Brimar yellow T label 12AT7's arrived today, I'll be listening to them tonight. Thanks for the tip on them Teajay. |
Has anyone heard the new Nord One SE UP NC500DM? Contains "rollable" op amps and is getting great reviews. Would like to try out a Class D amp and am thinking this might be the right choice for the DIs. Complete balanced circuitry, trigger inputs, and Class A throughout. At 700 wpc, 4ohms, it should have enough power... |
For those using the LTA MZ2 with your DI's I concur with teajay's recommendation of NOS TungSol round plate, black glass 12SN7's with the NOS Brimar yellow T label 12AT7's. Absolutely stellar. Beautiful tone and textures, huge and open soundstage, excellent detail and deep, powerful, controlled bass. I really like the 40's Sylvania 12SN7's and 40's Mullard 12AT's also, but the TungSols with the Brimars is my favorite combination. |
