Tekton Double Impacts

Someone suggested to listen to the DI's on YOU TUBE which I just did.  It would be great if a couple of more people could do the same.  I know it is not perfect but it does give you a good idea on how they sound.  

I know Eric has always been anti grill cover.  With this size and possible going in my great room the only way I could accomplish that with my wife is to have grill covers.  Can you get grill covers for these speakers?  If so, can you get in a color other than black.  I am thinking about Mercedes Silver in an automotive finish with a silver grill.  

My plan would be to buy these and compare them to the Wilson Audio Duette 2's that I have.  Whatever sounds better i keep.  

Hi Willgolf, 
Now that is one interesting comparison.  A 2 way monitor vs the large floor standing full range 3 way Double Impacts. This will be a fun direct comparison to read about. Should be very insightful as the design parameters are so different. 
Good luck,

Transconductance .... transresistance....

It all goes away with that great uniter, music.

Steve Coleman is making that happen right now. And aptly: 'Invisible Paths'  :)

Hi Charlies,

Yes, you are correct that the way my reference system is now setup, either a CEC or MBL transport, Concert Fidelity hybrid tube DAC, Micro-ZOTL used as a line stage, and the Triode Labs SET 2A3s-MK2 amp driving the DI's is the most enjoyable rig I have ever had since I started in the hobby.  What's ironic overall is that this is not an inexpensive system by any means, however, when you think what I have replaced regarding price- going from a 23K preamp to a Micro-ZOTL $1,700.00, a pair of speakers that were 19K to the basic DI's for $3,000.00, and a pair of amps that retail for $5,700.00/12K to the Triode Lab amp for $3,900.00 because the performance was increased qualitatively by spending way less money.

It really proves that you do not have to spend mega-bucks to get a reference level system if the goal is music not "eye-candy" or bragging rights about who owns the latest/greatest most expensive rig.  Eric's ability to create and sell such a high preforming speaker for peanuts compared to other hideously over priced speakers (I have heard them all and many I would not want to own, not because of price but because I find them lousy in their performance) has opened the flood gates for us music lovers who still work for a living.

I'm expecting the DI's big brother for review in the next two to three weeks, it will be very interesting for me to compare/contrast these two speakers for my review.  Eric believes that his new speaker performs on a much higher level then the DI's, will shall see! I'll have them side by side with the same gear/same acoustic space so it really will be an apple to apple comparison.  This should be a very special experience, indeed!

Hi Terry, 
Yes I eagerly await your Ulfberths review and direct comparison with the Double Impacts.  I'm very curious to learn if the Ulfberths are just more hifi spectacular or are they genuinely superior in the more important realm of music reproduction and emotional involvement. I have full confidence that you'll sort this out 😊
