Tekton Double Impacts

Mikirob,

It's not over till it's over.

I really love my Di's,they have panel inner detail and delicacy without the panel,they have coaxial and full range driver coherency without the shortcomings and they have speed,dynamics and excellent bass.I no longer need my subs at all.

They are an easy load for about any amp you would want to use.

I had the orangutan about 5 yrs ago,and they are pretty good for a 2 way design but I like my Di's better than any speaker I have ever owned or heard in my 31 yrs in this hobby.

I was pretty skeptical till I got a pair,now I want a 2nd set for my 2nd system and sale my Zu audio def's 4.

If you get a chance you need to listen to a pair,you may very well like them.

Best of luck to you,

Kenny.

Thanks teajay

I just bought some Tektons. I was very impressed by them. I absolutely can't wait to get them. It is a complete Home Theater system and should really sound special. At least I hope so! :-)

Kenny,
Double Impacts replacing the Zu DEF IV is interesting as that speaker has many happy owners on this site. There's quite a long ongoing audiogon  thread regarding that speaker.

Charles,
Yes I know I've read that thread several times.I owned Druid V's before the def's,I preferred the def's overall.
Both were upgraded to the max,internal wiring,Duelands on the radian compression drivers,damping material on the FRD baskets,and added damping inside cabinets.

They are a pretty good speaker that I have had for about 5 yrs, I've been fascinated for full range single driver speakers for a long time and had to try some but at the end of the day they have shortcomings that I don't care to live with anymore.

They are a little shouty and in your face,they beam the upper frequencies and they don't measure flat they have a 2 to 3 db bump up around the 2k to 4K range,It's the mechanical crossover of the whizzer cone.I get the same basic measurements in 3 diff. Rooms that I have tried them in from our older house to our new house that we have been in for 2yrs.
The in room efficiency rating is 3db lower than advertised also,which is really no big deal they are pretty efficient anyway.

They Sound their best with tube amps especially dht's, really helped smoothe them down a little bit.

They are a unique speaker but with preferring my DI's much more it's time to move on and I don't regret it at all.

Over the years I have owned tannoy's and altec 604's but I know I would still prefer the DI's,just a incredibly magical speaker.

I know your pretty darn happy with your system but if you ever get a chance to listen to a pair of Di's you might like them.

I only heard the Tekton speakers with tube amplification. Raven Audio Amps to be specific and they sounded great. You commented that they sound best with tube amplification. I have solid state, so I hope you are wrong there. I guess I will find out.
