Agreed Charles. They need a marketing/sales professional equal in quality to the sound and value represented in his line. This is a must to take it to the next level for his company and free him up to innovate and create. I see a company on the verge of a big breakthrough and they are at the point where they must invest in marketing/sales talent to "take the hill" in a big way.
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.

soundermn - DIs are not the least bit bright speakers. Silk soft-domes tweeters = Not bright or forward vs metal tweeters = close shave, lasers. forward, hifi-ish, overly detailed, can lack coherence with the rest of frequency range, and tend to sound exciting for 15 minutes, and fatiguing thereafter. Regardless of the speaker you choose from Eric, brightness is likely a non-issue across the board. I only now listen to opera pieces with enjoyment, which can get a bit peaky, but with the SET Tube Amp I use and the Tekton's DI's I am never chased out of the room. The coherence and wall of sound effect is planar-magnetic or electrostatic panel-like. |
Wow. don't recall a thread quite as large as this one for a new product. I am a seasoned audiophile and would like to hear the DI's. BUT, with all the hype, I would do so with a very critical and judgmental ear. Albeit, a fair one. All of you Tekton DI fanboys have created the proverbial monster here. In time, let's just see if that "monster" has the monster sized cojones' to go with all that hype...... Cheers, Tim |
DI's in the house. Fit and finish, esthetics surpassed my expectations. Very nice indeed. The bronzed orange was a good choice afterall. I posted a picture on my page. I'm waiting on a proper amp still. Temporarily powering them with a higher powered headphone amp for now. I hear a lot of potential so far. Very satisfied thus far. |
Just my opinion, but the site is really not bad. It could be more polished, but whos couldn't? Again, just my opinion but the real deficiency is the lack of description/differences between the speakers. Professional designers can't help there. IMO (yet again), only Eric can do that, but taking the time to do that may be perceived as of lower importance to trying to get all of the orders out and the time designing new products. I agree that he probably needs to take a really critical eye to his product line and see if he needs all of them and then to help any potential buys discriminate between the speakers while providing information as to recommended room sizes, types of amps, music types, etc. Whatever might help discriminate one from another. I think he needs to do that and he will get more orders and have to be on the phone less. I think he still will need to deal with infrastructure also. I am not sure he can handle all the growth he has going on now and even more growth may cause further delay in shipping speakers. I hope he does get to it though. I think it would help him. |
