Tekton Double Impacts

Offering an  8 ohm version of the Tekton DI is a very smart idea in my humble opinion. SET and other low power amplifiers should thrive with the easier driven speaker load. Excellent decision.

Hello everyone,
I have been looking for a speaker upgrade the last couple of months,I have been involved in this wonderful hobby for about 30yrs,So I owned a fair amount of speakers.
About the only type I have'nt had is OB'S I was seriously considering the pap with the vox full range or the spatial M3 turbo s.
Now that I have read this entire thread and all other info about the DI's,I decided to give Eric a call this morning and ask a few questions,he is a very busy guy but was accommodating.
I ended up buying a set that are gloss metallic black and have all the internal upgrades.I'm looking forward too receiving them and trying them out with my equipment and room.
I haven't heard any of the Tekton speakers and I don't know anybody in my area that has a pair.

I see a pair of 8 ohm DI's in my future! 

I'll be getting a pair of LTA MZ2-S that will be bridged and run as Monoblocks which will provide 70% more output than a single MZ-2S. I'm sure that will be fine with my 4 ohm DI's but the 8 ohm version should be better yet. I wonder if teajay had any influence into that decision since he's the one that realized just how good the DI's are with the MZ. I applaud Eric for making this possible. 

Congrats kdude, you're in for a real treat!

Last week I had the privilege of swinging by teajay's house to give the DI's a listen.  I'm a bit late to share my thoughts on this thread, but wanted to offer my humble opinion...

Wow!  "Jaw-dropping..... especially for the money" is what's still resonating with me a week later.  How can Tekton build and sell speakers of this quality for $3k shipped?  Amazing. 

We listened to a range of music types and the DI's handled each with aplomb.  There was a relaxed sense of ease with these speakers.  They released the notes effortlessly.  Excellent timbre and the sense of decay was palpable.  The "air and space" was appropriate for each each recording - they had a sense of scale for larger recordings and an intimacy on classic audiophile-female-voice recordings.  The speakers disappeared too - with a wide soundstage.  Excellent low-level detail and a strong sense of slam/macro-dynamics.  

While we didn't push them too hard, my feeling is these speakers will ROCK.

One could have lots of fun rotating through supporting electronics (1 watt!?!?) with the DI's not being a limiting factor in associated equipment selection.  

Of course teajay's reference-grade equipment, room, and set-up contributed to the overall experience, but in no way did these $3k speakers seem like a weak link in the chain.

They are pretty large speakers.  Pound-for-pound just jaw-dropping for the money and sonics.  I can't imagine these will stay at $3k for long.  Couple the sonics, frequency range and sensitivity with the price-point and they add-up to a value equation unique in the hifi industry.  

Hi Mac,
If you do eventually get the 8 ohm DIs and are interested in hearing them with the Coincident Frankenstein MK II at some point let me know.
