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.

@porscheracer - "I have talked with Karma at Tekton and you can consider my situation taken care of."  - Great news!

@evolvist - "Thank you, Eric. I believe I will stick with the mini-Ulfs" - +1
Eric:
Thanks --- good to know. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on how they sound after you get them together and tweaked.
@Kenny @sbayne - Well, I never said I was patient, yet that starts with patience toward myself, first. I have to keep moving forward, all of the time.

Sbayne mentioned societal changes. I’ve embraced those changes. We now live in a world of instant gratification. That’s just the way it is. Really, it puts extra pressure on those people, like Eric, who are trying to bring new things into world. As much as I love the concept of a mom ’n’ pop business, it’s mostly non-viable these days to have such dreams. One has to innovate or get out of the way. Perhaps that’s where Tekton is at the moment. Remember, Tekton started almost 10-years ago. That’s dog years in the audiophile/hi-fi world. Yet, here they are, still making speakers. The word got out; the pressure got juiced.

So, I ask myself, why didn’t I cancel my order? I suppose it’s because I was raised in the days where we didn’t know who was on the other end of the telephone line until we picked it up. When I was a kid, I played outside all day until the street lights came on. When it was time for supper I ate what was prepared, and if I didn’t like it, I would go without. With my first car, I could raise the hood and fix anything I needed.

A "Message board" was made of cork, and a person would use thumbtacks to pin little slips of paper to it.

I don’t necessarily wish for those days back. Still, I wear them like a shadow. They have a way of sticking around, though they are long dead.

I wish that Tekton will stick around.

evolvist,

I can relate to everything that you have said,
I have great memories of my first real hi fi speakers which were Khorns when I was 19 yrs old and I remember the anticipation and frustration waiting for 2 months for a set of better tweeter drivers for those big horns.I ordered them through the mail and had to send a personal check but when I finally got them and installed them they sure did sound good back then.It's been so long ago I can't recall what brand of tweeter it was.

Then later I decided to rework the crossovers and that was a whole another adventure to say the least and I'm not gonna bore you guys with it.

Kenny.
A shout out to the greater Houston and southern / coastal Texas members to stay safe and out of harms way.
