Read the review they seem to be incredible. The only thing I may not be able to deal with is the 4 ohm avg. resistance and how difficult the load gets even for use with fairly powerful tube amps. I doubt, but wonder if they can do something as an upgrade to help with that?

+1 There is indeed the Impact, which - according to the website - is based on the same patent as the higher level models; and that includes the Double Impact. It is $1,800 delivered, with one option. Check it out: http://www.tektondesign.com/tektonimpact.html There are a couple of personal reviews related to this "vanilla" Impact on the testimonials page. The Electron is the downsized version of the Double Impact, in terms of the tweeter array and overall design. Just my 2 cents. Happy Listening! |
Lula, I purchased the Impacts last November in a search for speakers which would allow my Microzotl2 to fulfill the designed potential unbridled. The first listening session shocked and stunned me due to what I was experiencing. I will keep these speakers for the rest of my life as I am experiencing sound I never realized possible. In my opinion these speakers will embarrass the "best" on the planet at any cost. My dearly loved Magnepan 3.5r's which were my reference for the past twenty years are now sitting idle collecting dust. All of the other six pairs of speakers owned are also in storage. I asked Mark at Linear Tube Audio about the 4 ohm rating of the Impacts after ordering thinking I had made a mistake and he told me impedance is not a problem for his amps due to not having transformers. He was correct. |
