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.

greg,

Not gonna say we told you so, but....
Glad you are happy with your new DI's.  Just think, with break in they will even be a bit better!  Glad this thread helped
Hi Greg,
Congratulations on getting the Double Impacts (DI) . It truly makes me happy when a fellow music lover expresses such newfound joy and sheer satisfaction. When you get down to the grass roots of it audio products are just a means or conduit to get us closer to the music we love to listen to, really that’s it.

As you’ve come to realize through your own experiences not every component or speaker has this capability, some are better than others. You use terms such as "sing" and "beautiful " to describe what the DIs have brought to your system and that’s a wonderful discovery.

Getting the musicality you describe along with the high resolution isn’t a given. The lack of genuine musicality is a barrier to emotionally being able to connect and deepen the all important music involvement factor while listening. Without It will seem as though you’re detached and merely observing the music rather than being a part of the experience.

The Double Impacts have eliminated the restrictive barrier you previously had in your system. Now the music "sings" and the entire listening experience is indeed "beautiful "😊. This is a fantastic new level and there’s no retreating backwards for you.

The improved resolution provided by the Double Impacts do allow you to hear any change in the signal chain (source,amplification, cables, racks,footers etc.). All this for "only" 3000.00 dollars? Who would have thunk it? 😊 I’m very happy for you.

This thread is an eye opener!
I've tried to keep up with reading it but have been busy with other activities.
Can some explain to me what the $300 upgrade consists of?
I've been on the website but I must be missing the answer.
Thanks in advance...

Well said and I agree.  Great big amp world out there and I have certainly heard SS and hybrid amps with as much or more emotion, air, tone, color etc... as a DHT or PP tube amp. These comparisons should not be in general, but specifically as every amp sounds different. Not all Class D amps sound the same or are even cut from the same sonic cloth. Not all DHT amps sound the same, nor are they all blessed with the magical qualities we all love in music. Just too simple and general based on my experience with amplifiers. 

Again, great big amp world out there folks.

+1.  No doubt the ST100 is one of those amps that defies being lumped into tube or SS sound. Owners and reviewers have all had the very same experience with this amp. It is also a great example of outstanding value competing with amps costing many times more.
