My DI are already in the customs office. They contacted me and informed that you need a certificate of conformity (European Union regulations). I emailed Eric to send me such a certificate. I hope that is;)
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.

Your Opinion Please I currently use my Allnic T-1500 Integrated 300B amp (12.5 watts per channel) to drive my Montana EPX speakers with no issues or problems at all. I'm happy with the sound. Here are the specifications on my Montana EPX speakers: http://thesoundstation.com/pages/montana_epx Having never heard the Tekton Double Impacts, I'm wondering would I gain anything by switching speakers or would I just be spending additional money? I'm located in Perrysburg, Ohio. |
@lak I am listening to a set tomorrow and will give you my impressions. I have asked myself the same questions. Good questions. I own the Crescendo speakers as you know. Terry L , the reviewer of the DI speaker, felt the DI was a better sounding speaker. That got my attention 🙂 I think you will also also need to hear a pair in order to make a wise decision. I do know your amp will drive them easily based on all the comments here and elsewhere regarding how easy they are on amplifiers. |
Hi lak, That’s such a tough question to answer. Nothing short of a listening session will settle this. So much of course depends on what type of sound you want, simple to say but so true. The reality is some listeners could hear both speakers and prefer yours, conversely others would prefer the Double Impacts. I’ve heard the Double Impacts and IMO they are very good. They will definitely reflect the chosen audio signal chain and room setup. Charles |
