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.

@evolist,
Your are right, I was a fool for buying the entire Enzo home theater system without hearing it.  My mistake was that I read flowery reviews, from people like Andrew Robinson on the Pendragon.  I figured, if an expert liked them, so would I. I was way too naive. Any good writer can write a good review if motivated $$. This is the first time I have spoken out online about my experience, because I felt embarrassed and ashamed for being so gullible.

I didn't return them because I kept telling myself that they must just need more burn in time.  Well, they never got better and by the time I realized it, the return window was closed.

Vitop,
I certainly hope your experience is better than mine. My advice, if you hear them and are not impressed, return them at once.  Mine never improved after the burn in. And if you ordered the grills and Eric says he will send them later, don't hold your breath, I've been waiting for 4 years.

If you need a second opinion about my Tekton Design Enzo, call Audio Solutions in Indianapolis and talk to Vince. It's been about 4 years but maybe he remembers hearing them. Audion Solutions:

racer12b,

"Maybe Tekton Design has decided to install better crossovers, drivers and brace cabinets since my experience with the Enzos"

Yes on all items.

I have never heard any of the Enzo's but I did hear the pendragon several yrs ago and wasn't impressed at all but the DI's are a completely different story.

I do believe that anybody on these threads is allowed to have their own opinion but It does look kinda strange that you just joined up on Audiogon and your very first post is a negative one.


Kenny.


The truth is, I’ve read customer reviews of $100k speakers that were less than stellar, but really never any negative reviews from professional reviewers.

I think that’s just to way the ball bounces. Somebody won’t like something for whatever reason.

Hey, there could be a bad batch, or whatever you want to call it. The lack of braces inside is weird.

I can tell you that the upgraded DIs that I heard were pretty special, while the standard ones sounded "just okay." Then again, the standard model was about 4ft apart, and about 6ft from the listener.

I think it’s good to hear all of these different experiences.

Yeah, Kenny, you've actually opened these boxes up. How was the design on the insides? 
Sorry for being a newbie and I do realize there are trolls out there, but after seeing this thread about Tekton, I feel obligated to share my experience.  I couldn't keep my mouth shut any more. For a second opinion, I invite you to call Audion Solutions in Indianapolis today.
