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.

Hi charles1dad
I will report my findings should I pull the trigger on the Lyngdorf. Yes, I believe our ears and listening habits are extremely similar. Tone, timbres, texture, natural organic sound come first, other musical attributes next. Growing up with all the musicians in family, knowing what music sounds like live make it hard for me, or my wife to listen to a playback system that does not get us some semblance of the real thing. I do admire audio designers that give you much bang for the buck such Eric Akexander. On the other hand in 50 years I've heard more than my share of expensive audio; but nothing ever topped in my experience as very young dude one relative playing his L5 Gibson guitar with one of the greatest acts in Rock n' Roll live as well as in the studio.  Best, mikirob 

Also, I'm really in a fitful cogitation state, do I buy a DI, Baby Ulf? Sell my lesser stuff to relieve financial sting since I really have too much audio equipment as is.

Hello David,
I appreciate your reply regarding the somewhat mysterious Double Impact SE.  Tom will go to Chicago to hear these speakers when Audio Archon receives their pair.  He'll be able to provide the essential details and listening impression at that point. I didn't realize that the SE has a different cabinet. This could turn out to  be a considerabley different speaker from the standard DI. This is an intriguing speaker.

Hi Rob, 
I can understand your dilemma regarding the Tekton line,  numerous choices with degrees of overlap with in a given price range. How does one make clear delineation amongst them? Rob I can state unequivocally that the DI with the 300.00 dollar upgrade option is a very good sounding speaker. The question is how much better are the upscale Tekton models 😊

@david_ten I have already picked my color in the event it ever happens.  There is a post on the Tekton FB page of a DI in a color called spanish tile.  The nicest I have seen yet.  Not sure if it is an automotive color or an upcharge color, but here's a pic:  https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10208069651727928&set=p.10208069651727928&type=3
I'm getting my mini-Ulfs in white and installing colored lights in the ceilings when I get the speakers set in place. The lights will shine on the speakers. 

That way, in the dark, I can have any color speakers I want!
