Wow, guys. I have zero desire to get any Class D amplification.....I don't like the sound compared to Class A or Class AB solid state amps.
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.

Congrats evolvist. I agree with David, the bass will fill in with time and installing the spikes or something else to fill those threaded holes will also definitely help. Aric is great to deal with. He's finishing up my amp and will probably ship at the end of the week. Which amp are you looking at of his? Kenny, I'm also looking forward to your assessment of the Lyngdorf. You have quite the stable of amps, my friend. |
Sweet! I went with a raw aluminum chassis with black sides. Hoping its a good look and I’m sure it will be. I’m excited about the upgraded pure copper Audyn caps and hospital grade IEC filter. Aric’s initial listening impressions of them is quite good. I might copy Kennys 2A3 he had Aric build him just to have a change of pace amp to throw into the mix. Tom |
@porscheracer Not trying to convince you to buy one, but the Lyngdorf is a digital amp, not really a true Class D amp nor should it be in the same category as others. Quote from a review from http://hometheaterhifi.com/reviews/amplifier/integrated-amplifiers/lyngdorf-audio-tdai-2170-fully-di... "Lyngdorf Audio TDAI-2170 Fully-Digital Integrated Amplifier Review Highlights Integrated amplifiers have never enjoyed the same respect audiophiles pay to separate components. Similarly, Class D amplification has been the “Scarlet Letter” of the high-end audio realm due to a sea of mass-market amplifiers that make more “noise” than “music”. Borrowing heavily from technologies developed for the cost-no-object Steinway Lyngdorf audio systems (yes, THAT Steinway) the TDAI-2170 aims not to simply level the high-end audio playing field, but to flip it on its head entirely. Fundamentally different from traditional Class D amplifiers, the sleek TDAI-2170 produces a sound so clean, so neutral, so devoid of any sonic signature, it disappears completely and restores the emotional response that made me fall in love with music to begin with." |
