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.

Kenny, I bought my Hashimoto transformers for a custom amp project that can use both KT line of output tubes or 300B tubes in push pull parallel configuration.  I also have Hashimoto interstage transformers so I wouldn't need coupling caps in my custom amp.

Can anyone explain how the DI produces such great sound with those multiple tweeters right next to each other?  I would think all the phase and interference problems would be audible.

It has to do with the length of the soundwaves; since 6 of the tweeters are acting in the upper midrange frequency, they do not participate in the kind of tweeter range phase issues that others have complained about. Eric will provide you with specifics of this design and he is correct.

Converter Update.

After trying a number of DACs have found the ideal one for my set of DIs. It is an RME UCX that I had available as a unit no longer being used in the studio. Set up with its TotalMix computer interface, it provides readings of JRiver files that are startling realistic. In particular, it is superb at soundstage localization AND, just like the DIs, disentangles dense textures (such as large orchestras) with great accuracy. If you run across a unit, give it a try.

Dracula,

I can tell you the DI's are extremely coherent with no phase interference or resonant issues.I've down some frequency testing on mine with the proper equipment and I'm just amazed with the results.

They sound nothing like the average line array that require very complex crossovers,the DI's crossover is quite simple and I believe Eric has a real winner here,I can see keeping my pair for a long time and I'm a very picky fussy audiophile.I probably in time will buy a 2nd pair for my 2nd system,that's how good I think they are.

Even though I bought a upgraded pair I have upgraded mine further and I won't comment on that because It's Eric's patented design.

If you get a chance to listen to a pair I would highly recommend it.
