Tekton Double Impacts

Thanks for nothing jeffrey, now I'm going to have to start saving up for the Ulfberhts! I had a feeling they were going to be really special. If they provide an additional 20% more than the DI's that's saying A LOT! Please keep us updated as they break in. I'm quite sure the bass will improve along with the blending of all of the drivers. 

Vitop, the common misconception about these tweeter arrays is that the number of tweeters will muddle the sound. That might happen if the tweeters were all actually providing the highs, but in reality only the center tweeter does while the six circling it produce high midrange. Teajay gave a great explanation of this a couple of pages ago. Eric really thought outside of the box here. I think your concerns will be unfounded when you get your mini Ulfberhts. I'm really looking forward to your impressions when you get them, they could be a great alternative to those like me that will find it difficult coming up with $12k.

Actually I remember that article from Terry. I know that the center is the only true tweeter, but I guess I still call it a tweeter array. The gist of what I was wondering is that if the 3 array configuration has more clarity than the DI 7 tweeter array, then would the Ulf 15 tweeter array have even less clarity?

It surprises me that Brilliance has more clarity than the DI. I thought the Di has excellent clarity.

Hello all,

Wow,so nice to read about all the new Tekton Goodness.
I know I'm perfectly happy with my DI's no need to change them for quite awhile.

Best,

Kenny.

I suspect clarity can actually improve with a properly executed large tweeter array.  The end result of a large diameter tweeter  array is controlled dispersion which can increase direct sound and decrease reflected sound. Far less distortion as well.  It's like a really large set of headphones. I find when direct sound increases so does clarity and detail.
Perhaps the perceived increased clarity of the Brilliance has more to do with the voicing/drivers/crossover of that model.

That makes sense vitop. The Brilliance use Seas drivers I believe instead of the Emminence drivers on the DI's. Might that lead to more clarity? I don't imagine the Brilliance are a lot more clear than the DI's as I find the DI's to be exceedingly clear. The PMD line might be a whole different story though as Eric is using the best drivers, crossovers, capacitors and wire possible for his to achieve his goals. As jeffrey has alluded to, the Ulfberts take realism and dynamics to a whole new level. As much as I love my DI's I'm going to do my best to get the Ulfberhts or mini Ulfberhts.
