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.

I'm trying out a new Allnic preamp with the Ulfs:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5V6LDxBkQk I hope the video comes out okay, as Youtube has been a pain in the butt recently. For piano fans, a Model D makes an appearance in this clip. |
Jeffery: Did you try out a Class D amp and, if so, what were the results? Tried out a Nord UP Stereo amp and it was disappointing, became defective in 5 days, and was returned. Wondering about Class A Pass Labs amps and their suitability for the DIs. Let's be perfectly clear here -- you really know how to fill up a room! |
Thanks guys! I used a new mic on my camcorder, an Audio-Technica unit. The previous vids used the camcorder's internal mic which was quite bad. The new mic is a good bit more sensitive,too. I had uploaded some Rodrigo y Gabriela vids that sounded amazing on the Ulf's, but the Copyright Police took them down. Craigl59, I tried the Wadia a340 class D amps several weeks back. They appear in my very first video. But, I got rid of them after only a few hours and went back to the BHK 300's. The bass was great on the Wadia's and they were very clear sounding, but in the upper midrange they were very unpleasant sounding. They made some vocals sound shrill and metallic. Not my cup of tea. The BHK's and the Allnic have a sweetness to them that is really special. |
