Tekton Double Impacts

Hey Guys,

This morning I'm listening to Keith Jarrett's, "The Cure" Album that was recorded live at Town Hall, New York.  With the DI it seems I'm in the hall with the rest of the audience.  I still find the experience with the DI a remarkable one, not just because of the price to performance ratio, which is off the charts, but because of the beauty of the music that it creates in my listening room.  

I just hope the rest of the Audiogon members will just use their ears and not get caught up in how much these speakers cost compared to high-end reference marque speaker brands so they too will have the pleasure of having maybe the best illusion of live music in their rooms that they ever heard.

Because of my reviews here on Audiogon I was offered the job of becoming a staff reviewer for hometheaterreview.com.  So, this site is still my "home" so to speak.  All you guys on this thread are great at sharing important information and helping other members learn about new great products that come out on the market.  

I still would suggest that you hear the DI with the Tube Linear Audio gear combo, or at least the Micro-ZOTL preamp, this combination will compete with any system regardless of price, I will stake my reputation, for what it's worth, on this assertion.  Just like the Tekton's policy, you have a 30 day return policy with TLA and Mark and his son Will are great guys, just like Eric.

Hope, you all enjoy my review tomorrow, it just tries to articulate what the owner's of the DI know already, its a GREAT speaker! 

There's an ongoing thread about 1500.00 dollar tube preamps in the amp/preamp section.  I suggested the Linear Tube Audio ZOTL as a possibility even though I have not personally heard it.  I thought it should be considered based on strong reviews and very positive owner comments. It may have fallen on deaf ears however.

kalali, my ears tell me all these drivers crossover at  relatively low frequencies.  The tweeter array is key to the performance I hear.  Given SIX tweeters (only the center tweeter handles the highest octaves), you can really increase power handling and afford to crossover so low.  This means you in fact do have very low mass drivers covering the midrange.   A further advantage is that the array controls the dispersion of sound (more direct and less reflected sound is the result).  All of this translates into a lot of delicate detail to my ears. The other drivers are not asked to go very high, so I can respect the notion that for a given frequency the moving mass of the driver is relatively low.

Before I received these speakers, I was a bit skeptical about some of Eric's hype.  Not anymore. 

teajay, I must admit that ever since getting the DI's I've been listening to a lot more live music. These great speakers have the uncanny ability of placing you at the venue. I can't wait to add the LTA MZ2-S and ZOTL 40 to my system to make it even more real sounding. I just ordered The Cure to add to my collection. Here are some very well recorded live albums others might like: 

Holly Cole: Steal The Night
Cowboy Junkies: Trinity Revisited
The Wailin' Jenny's: Live at the Mauch Chunk Opera House
Morgan James: Live
 Nils Lofgren: Acoustic Live 

I look forward to reading your DI review tomorrow.

Great observation corelli, I have no idea how the new patent works but your explanation makes a lot of sense. I thought the pre patent Tektons sounded great but the DI is so differant from the Enzo there were too many variables for me to attribute any specific improvement to the new patent. The 7 tweeter array while unconventional is amazing. Maybe future DI's will have a super tweeter in the middle like the 1812.
