Tekton Double Impacts

Charles, when the family is around, I generally listen at a moderate level, which barely moves the needle on the meter on my 508 at all. When they are out, I will let it rip, but this amp and these speakers excel at any listening level, which I have not always found to be the case with other amps and speakers. One thing is for sure--the 508ia will drive the DI speakers with a ton of headroom to spare. Some might even call it overkill, but the sound is so beguiling and so great with all types of music, I would call it a great match. If all goes well, this week will be telling as I finally have some time and opportunity for some extended listening sessions.

Hi everybody,

Just want to share, many Emails asking this question, that a decision was made that instead of Eric sending me a pair of SE Double Impacts to review for hometheaterreview.com I'll be getting the much larger and brand new model called the ULFBERHT, which I believe is Viking for a special sword. ( Don't hold me on that one!)  The estimated date of arrival is the middle of June.  

Any technique questions regarding what drivers/transducers, wiring, caps, etc. will be answered by Eric on his website and on this thread.  By the time this speaker gets to my house for review I'll have a least two more amplifiers to drive it with to get my take on it.  Fortunately, my acoustic space is gigantic and would allow any speaker to breath and preform at its best, including this new Tekton.  My only concern is how my back will feel after setting up this baby, I think it weighs around 170 pounds, but I'll manage somehow!   

Teajay,

Waiting with bated breath to hear your impressions of the Ulfberhts. While I absolutely love my DI’s something tells me the Ulfberhts are going to take things to a whole new level......and at $12k a pair they should. While I could be very happy for a very long time with the DI’s, I’m thinking the Ulfberhts could be in my future. He ain't heavy......he's my speaker :)

On a different topic I finally ordered my LTA MZ2 and should have it in about 3 weeks. I’ll give it a try as an integrated amp but I’ll most likely be ordering the ZOTL 10 with the upgraded power supply which should be available early July.

Teajay I'll help you carry them!
