I think @jcarcopo is saying (please correct me in case I am wrong) the FULL 7 Tweeter Array, flanked by the 2 mid range drivers, is important and worth the added investment.
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.

Agreed about the 7 tweeter array, I'll go further saying the 15 tweeter array in the Encore and Ulf is also worth going for! I heard the Encores at RMAF and the extra information gained by having tweeter domes producing midrange from 300 Hz up is startling, the sweet spot in the Tekton line for me would be the Encores, that transparent midrange coupled with the solid low bass and superior dynamics make it my winner. I'm finding that more efficient speakers, cones, planars, or horns, with ratings of 94 dB or higher, really let music have more of the dynamic excitement live music provides and gets me more emotionally involved in the music. Congratulations Eric on making so many great speakers to choose from, and making them affordable! |
