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.

Hello All,

Aric of Aric Audio and I worked out the details of a custom SE 2a3 tube amp that will use a oversized pwr supply and Electra Print 15watt outputs so I will be able to get 8 to 10 watts using the new production JJ 2a3-40 tube and also use regular 2a3 tubes at the normal 3.5 watts.
The JJ tube is capable of dissapating 40 watts and a normal 2a3 dissipates 25 watts.

There is some older reviews of the JJ tube if you google for them.

We came up with price slightly below $1800.00 with shipping and no tubes.Should be a very good sounding amp especially for the price.


Kenny.

Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the sound. The price is right.

That sounds awesome, Kenny. I need to do some reading up on Aric & these tubes.

In my experience its always how the subs mate with the main speakers...not the price of the sub itself.   ...you shouldn't be aware there is sub in a system if its done well.

Hi Kenny,
Overbuilt power supply and a good quality output transformer, Kenny I knew you’d get it all sorted out 😊. I believe that you’ll have a very high quality 2A3 SET amplifier for an exceptionally reasonable price. What a wonderful match with your Double Impacts.

Kenny you’re getting excellent sound with the Cyber 2A3 SET and I suspect that the Aric custom built amplifier will be a noticeable  step upward. What will be your choice of coupling capacitors and what type of internal wire? You have the ears and experience to get this completely right.
