Tekton Double Impacts

racer12b,

"Maybe Tekton Design has decided to install better crossovers, drivers and brace cabinets since my experience with the Enzos"

Yes on all items.

I have never heard any of the Enzo's but I did hear the pendragon several yrs ago and wasn't impressed at all but the DI's are a completely different story.

I do believe that anybody on these threads is allowed to have their own opinion but It does look kinda strange that you just joined up on Audiogon and your very first post is a negative one.


Kenny.

The truth is, I’ve read customer reviews of $100k speakers that were less than stellar, but really never any negative reviews from professional reviewers.

I think that’s just to way the ball bounces. Somebody won’t like something for whatever reason.

Hey, there could be a bad batch, or whatever you want to call it. The lack of braces inside is weird.

I can tell you that the upgraded DIs that I heard were pretty special, while the standard ones sounded "just okay." Then again, the standard model was about 4ft apart, and about 6ft from the listener.

I think it’s good to hear all of these different experiences.

Yeah, Kenny, you've actually opened these boxes up. How was the design on the insides? 

Sorry for being a newbie and I do realize there are trolls out there, but after seeing this thread about Tekton, I feel obligated to share my experience.  I couldn't keep my mouth shut any more. For a second opinion, I invite you to call Audion Solutions in Indianapolis today.

The contact at Audio Solutions is Victor.  Sorry, it's been about 4 years.  Ask Victor about his experience with my Enzos. (317) 255-4434 Audio Solutions

Racer12b,
you're extremely late to the party; there is almost unanimous consent on here by both respected reviewer Teajay and others, actual multiple purchaser of Tekton DI who vouch for the DI. And, what does your purchase of Enzo speakers have to do with the current model DI? Nothing is the answer.

I am truly sorry for you if your tale is true; but it really has nothing to do with the Double Impacts or Ulfs. And yes, you have the right to voice an opinion from your experience. Yet it seems misplaced here and should be located in a thread discussing the Enzo.

I am a former professional musician from a family of musicians, some very well known. My wife is a classical guitarist. I have owned Tekton products from a single driver Fostex monitor, Mini-Lore, Lore. They are all excellent sounding buys for their category of dollars performing well above their cost. None were muddled.

I currently own a bunch of excellent performing speakers, DeVore 0/96, Harbeth SHL5, and some pretty good ancillary equipment such as Leben CS600, Cary 280v, SLP98, LTA MZ2s, etc., etc., and have had much good equipment in my systems over the past 50 years. I believe my hearing is excellent. What was your amplifier and ancillary equipment with Enzo? 

To sum up, this is a thread about the Double Impact, not Enzo. Everyone has a right to voice an opinion; but I will qualify that by saying your comments are misplaced in this thread. Best, mikirob
