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 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.

@lak - Allnic equipment is some of the best available in my opinion. Your Allnic integrated, as you indicate, should drive the Double Impact with no problem. I've always been impressed with Montana speakers but have never heard the EPX. For me, the real breakthrough with these new Tekton speakers is the tweeter array. It presents the upper midrange and treble in a completely natural way.

This is obviously just conjecture on my part, but the only area you may feel is not a clear step forward is in the bass. The bass produced by every Montana speaker I've heard has been truly excellent. I'm not saying the Double Impact's bass won't be very good just that might be an area it will, at least, be a "wash" between the speakers. You may want to wait for the Mini-Ulfs to come out or even spring for the full Ulfberthts - simply based on what I remember hearing from Montana speakers generally.   

 jcarcopo -Thank you . I am already in contact, I hope for a positive solution of the case. I think I found a bureaucrat at the customs office.
grannyring, charles1dad, and sbayne as always thank you for your assistance.
I totally agree one must hear the speakers for themself to make a judgement call.

Finding a bureaucrat at the customs office should not bee too difficult. Kind of like sand on the beach. If you mean a helpful bureaucrat, well then.... that's a different story.
