Tekton Double Impacts

Evolvist:

I have not figured out how to PM on here either, although I have had others PM me. SO I guess I'll just post the information publicly and maybe someone else can get something out of it.

I heard them at Raven Audio. Dave is the owner. You can reach him at 936-662-5100.

Great guy and has some good stuff there. Let him know that I gave you his info. I won't do anything for me but I do want him to know that I appreciated the time he spent with us and that I am referring people to him when I can. I owe him that. He was waiting for equipment to come in and some venders were slowing him down. He was setting stuff up in a huge storm that knocked power out and he came in early again the next day to keep on setting up, so whatever I can do in terms of letting people know, I will.

Hopefully you will like them. If you ever figure out how to PM, give me a PM.

I actually do not know the answer to those questions. I basically bought them after I had heard the DIs and Eric promised me these would sound even better. I do know they have the 15 tweeter/midrange arrangement because that was how I ended up going in that direction.

I was primarily interested in HT and was going to go in the direction of the Paradigm Persona speakers which had been the clearest speakers I had heard. I was going for accuracy and clarity as my primary goals. The last speaker I wanted to hear was the Legacy Audio line of speakers since like Tekton, the had a reputation of having much better sound than their price indicated. Basically a giant slayer. To add to that, they used a high quality ribbons and I own a set of Apogee speakers and a set of Final sound electrostats. I think ribbons and electrostats if done right have some of the best sound going. I found a dealer that carried both Legacy and had a set of DIs on the floor so I went to hear them. I did some critical listening between Erics tweeter array and the ribbon tweeter, fully expecting the ribbons to be better.

After listening to the DIs I was going to buy them but since so much of the HT dialogue comes from the center speaker, I asked Eric if he could make me a center that looked like a smaller Ulf turned on it's side. I was after the 15 speaker tweeter/mid arrangement for my center.

That was when Eric mentioned the Ulf mini which were more wallet and room friendly and would match the custom center better. That's what I ended up getting. It will have more bass drivers, but be smaller drivers. It will have the 15 speaker tweeter/ mid arrangement and beyond that I don't know much. I am just trusting Eric here.

@Evolvist, just sent you a message with my email address. This forum software is not user friendly. I'm just up 290 from you off Fry Rd. near Blackhorse Ranch.

Hey, thanks guys! 

I had no idea that Raven Audio was an hour and 20 minutes away from my home. I had read nothing but good things about their tube amps. 

I'll give him a shot and @david_ten I'll try your PM suggestion. Thanks!
