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.

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.

The contact at Audio Solutions is Victor.  Sorry, it's been about 4 years.  Ask Victor about his experience with my Enzos. (317) 255-4434 Audio Solutions

Racer12b,
you're extremely late to the party; there is almost unanimous consent on here by both respected reviewer Teajay and others, actual multiple purchaser of Tekton DI who vouch for the DI. And, what does your purchase of Enzo speakers have to do with the current model DI? Nothing is the answer.

I am truly sorry for you if your tale is true; but it really has nothing to do with the Double Impacts or Ulfs. And yes, you have the right to voice an opinion from your experience. Yet it seems misplaced here and should be located in a thread discussing the Enzo.

I am a former professional musician from a family of musicians, some very well known. My wife is a classical guitarist. I have owned Tekton products from a single driver Fostex monitor, Mini-Lore, Lore. They are all excellent sounding buys for their category of dollars performing well above their cost. None were muddled.

I currently own a bunch of excellent performing speakers, DeVore 0/96, Harbeth SHL5, and some pretty good ancillary equipment such as Leben CS600, Cary 280v, SLP98, LTA MZ2s, etc., etc., and have had much good equipment in my systems over the past 50 years. I believe my hearing is excellent. What was your amplifier and ancillary equipment with Enzo? 

To sum up, this is a thread about the Double Impact, not Enzo. Everyone has a right to voice an opinion; but I will qualify that by saying your comments are misplaced in this thread. Best, mikirob

P.S. It is also a little weird that you want people to contact a dealer in Indiana to validate your claim. No one finds that request strange?
