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.

Mahan Esfahani is crazy good.  I love the harpsichord more than a piano.  Great suggestion, imsjm! 

Eric Caldwell, buy the Double Impacts, room dimensions be damned! I sent you a private message. Call me 919-904-5657!

Hey Evolvist,

If you can evaluate the overall sound quality of Jeffery's system based on what you hear on that video you have some extraordinary auditory abilities, indeed!
I'll call later this morning my editor at hometheatereview.com and highly recommend you for the new staff writing position that's open.  

Brilliant! Being that I already write professionally, perhaps your editor will be agreeable to my rate, or I might be persuaded by the perks of auditioning new kit. 

As to my exceptional hearing, although tone, timbre, dynamics (to an extent), and imaging were lost in the video's audio; still, one could tell that there is an evenness to the overall projection and that soundstage was not lacking. At the very least, I was a little shocked that a rather dense piece of music could still be rendered well from the Ulfbehrts, being siphoned through a bottleneck like a cell phone or a small cam. 
Wow, if the DI’s are sonically at, or above, the likes of the Wilson Sasha’s I can only imagine what the Ulfberhts compare to. The low ceilings of my basement listening room won’t accommodate the Ulfberhts height so I can be content only spending $8500 for the mini Ulfberhts. I can now tell my wife I just saved $3500!!!

Thanks again to teajay and mykerte, along with everyone else, for sharing their Tekton experiences. It’s quite exciting hearing such praise for speakers us mere mortals can afford.

I agree with Jonathan, room size be damned, get the DI’s and you won’t be disappointed. They as well in intimate settings as they do in filling large spaces with beautiful music. I believe they sound best away from the walls, but still sound very good near them.
Well, I should be busy working on fulfilling orders this morning but thought I'd take a quick peek to see how this thread is evolving. Wow! There is so much going on here in real-time. Michael with the DI's... Teajay evaluating the ULF's... Clement Perry with his upgraded DI's, etc... Amazing!

I'm truly humbled and simply want to say how grateful I am! Thank you!

Everyone on my inside circle knows I simply want to create. I simply feel inspired and driven to simply create music. As a professional musician (a drummer) I've had the lifelong goal of improving the quality of audio and wanting to push the envelope.

Happy listening to all!

Sincerely,

Eric Alexander - audio designer   

   
@grannyring - It shouldn't be a problem. I once purchased a Chord DAVE in the Czech Republic and took it right on and off the plane. I had to jump through few hoops at customs, but it wasn't a big deal. 

@lmswjm - I hope those are Vitop's mini-Ulfs. If not, I hope they are mine since I'm not asking for high-gloss. :-)
