Tekton Double Impacts

I heard three or four of the SF line of speakers before I went with the Tektons. Everyones taste is different. I thought the lower end Sonus were ok, but the higher end speakers I thought were very good. I liked them a lot. For me, they did not leave me thinking that they were worth that kind of money and I had to have them like some other expensive speakers did. Personally, I do not think they did anything that the DIs could not, but that is just to my ears. I do have to say that the higher end ones look great. Would definitely dress up a room.

My orange DI's with upgrades are on the way. I am considering Herbies gliders temporarily to find optimum placement and then using spikes on thin carpet with concrete underneath. I suppose I could then sell the gliders.

anyone else have any ideas? Im guessing they will be difficult to move once spikes are installed.

im looking forward to joining the conversation about how they sound.

@lancelock :

I am using Herbie's 'Giant Threaded Stud Gliders' screwed into the Double Impacts and Herbie's 'Giant Fat Gliders' under each 18 by 20 inch isolation platform. 

The DIs with Gliders rest upon the isolation platform. The isolation platform with Gliders rest upon an oak hardwood floor.

I went with Herbie's based on others here in this thread recommending them (though I also had previous experience with his footers and tube dampers).

Others within the thread also recommended Soundocity, which I also seriously considered. Star Sound Technology's Sistrum platforms were also highly recommended within the thread (and would have been my first choice, but my goal was mainly to protect the speakers from tipping over should my 3 and a half year old son somehow manage to do so)

The impact on sound quality was immediately apparent, as I'm sure it would be with the other two options mentioned here (as well as those not mentioned above).

Hope this information is helpful. I asked a similar question quite awhile back, if you search you should be able to land on those pages. Everyones input was extremely helpful.

Can't wait to see pics Lance. That orange should be sweet. More importantly I'm looking forward to your accessment of them. As you know I'm also a user of the Herbies threaded Giant Gliders. They work very well for me. Davids set up is quite interesting also but with my low ceiling I don't want raise my speakers any higher.
