Tekton Double Impacts

333jeffrey Last night I put on the Lorde release through the DIs crossed at 80hz to my DIY dual opposed 15" sealed sub. I'm pretty sure there is the 20-20K range on every one of her songs. It was amazing without even pushing those speakers. -10dB on the volume knob of my Denon 4520. If you like concert level listening, you'll likely love these. I can only imagine the Ulfs or heaven forbid the 1812s in that mode.

Bullitt, you mean Holy Job, right??? :)

Both the JOB and the Odysseys are solid recommendations by the members who have brought them to your attention.

Srajen Ebaen put JOB on the map early on, though his enthusiasm for them has faded a bit. You may want to look at his reviews also. He talks about them from time to time in his subsequent other product reviews, so that 'fading feeling' is difficult to get at via Google.

 

@tekton: Very happy that your DIs are working out for you!

@longdrive55  Great to hear that you are considering the DIs or Ulfberths.

@pawsman: Thanks for sharing your impressions on the Impacts. Just to clarify, did you go with the "monitor' portion or is it the full floorstander?

Bullitt,

the reason I recommended Odyssey is that they are very musical and great with home theater also. I had the Kismet Monoblocks and Candela pre until getting bit by the tube bug. The dynamic slam with the Kismets and Tektons was bone jarring. I'll be getting the Kismets again when I get my theater system going again. The theater gives me a good reason to get the mini Ulfberhts so that I can move my DI's into the theater system ;)

Someone asked about the Raven amps. I had their Blackhawk integrated amp with the DI's at first and while it sounded quite good it was noisey. Another Raven owner with DI's experienced the same problem....a buzz/hum that could easily be heard from 10' away. My Decware Torii was much more quiet ( could only hear the same sort of buzz up to a foot from the speaker) and my LTA MZ2 is dead quiet. Each successive amp in my system produced more realistic music also and hopefully my next amp will be the most musical yet!

I have Kismet monos pushing the monitors with 2 REL subs.(see the photo gallery on the Tekton site, last pic.) These crank! I will be getting rid of the monos soon, If anyone is interested. It is a great combo! just waiting patiently for my grills...
