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.

If you go to the about section on youtube it says... "I'm just a nerd who loves music and the gear that makes it sound awesome."

Of course not! He is just some guy in a base ball hat but with a youtube channel.
@evolvist  Now there's the reason why a light grey paint color choice is the leading candidate! : )

Enjoyed the review and thanks for posting.

Have been listening to the DIs every day for the last 4 months and posted several reviews on threads after purchase. In general, thought this reviewer did a good job explaining the general nature of the transducer and agree with most of his comments.

In particular, he shares the same initial reaction that almost all owners have expressed: the speaker sounds good with all musical styles and all levels of recorded quality. This alone makes the DI worthy of consideration. Think that potential buyers should review this You Tube for a straightforward explanation of the product.

Don't agree with two of his minor complaints: that off-axis frequency response is poor and that they cannot be compared to $30k speakers. My set sounds fine throughout the room and in adjoining rooms. Second, would like to see a direct comparison with the Wilson Sashas to formalize any differences between $3K and $30K devices. A double blind test would be revealing.

His review was good and honest. I didn’t agree with some points but it is still a great reference for future buyers. I don’t see that he has owned speakers anywhere near 30k for comparison so I found that bit confusing. His comments about being a speaker you don’t need to make excuses for was spot on. All I have to do is put them on for company and the speakers do the talking.
