@teajay : Terry, any updates on your ongoing adventures with the Double Impacts and components in the chain driving them? Thanks.
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.

The Ulfberhts are in. Huge beasts that took a good hand truck and several strong backs to move. They are burning in for now, but I did manage a listen. Most interesting thing I noticed was how natural the instruments sound, very rich and textured. No harsh edges, but extremely clear. I will give them time to burn in and open up. I must note that the packaging on these things was impressive. No worries about shipping damage. |
Just came across a review of the Tekton Brilliance at Stereo Times: http://v2.stereotimes.com/post/tekton-design-brilliance-loudspeakers/ |
THANK YOU, DAVID, AND OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES. MY LISTENING EXPERIENCE SINCE NOVEMBER CONFIRMS THIS REVIEW'S CONCLUSION. I CAN ADD THAT THE BRILLIANCE CLARIFIES THE VOICES OF COMPLEX SYMPHONIES. I USE IT, AS I'VE SAID, WITH THE FIRST WATT F-3. IT PUTS OUT A MODEST 10 WATTS: http://www.firstwatt.com/f3.html IN MY SMALL LISTENING SPACE,I FIND NO LISTENING FATIGUE OR BASS EMPHASIS. I SO ENJOY LISTENING TO ALL MY MUSIC. WHAT MORE IS THERE TO SAY. QUESTIONS WELCOME, HOWEVER. |
