Tekton Double Impacts

Musikman,
I'll make you a great deal on them......10% off retail and local pick up only. Still interested? Lol. Seriously though I might sell them some day as the wife won't be thrilled having them back in the family room, but I want to enjoy them with some SS amps for a while......with hopes she will get used them :)

While the drivers in the SE's aren't the Scanspeak drivers some were hoping for, they are upgraded......along with the crossovers, cabinets and wiring. Aesthetically they aren't for everyone but when painted in a high gloss finish I think they look quite nice.  From those listening to them last week the consensus was that the SE's take all of the good qualities of the DI's and build upon them with better and more bass, more refinement and silkier mids. Making a few improvements to the DI's is no small feat and for another $2300 more than the DI's with the upgrade package and high gloss paint, I feel they will be well worth it but can understand those that want even more. 

Mofojo, 
To clarify I don't own the Double Impacts.  I was referring to the Coincident Total Eclipse II speakers I have.  I was just giving an example of speakers that have Scanspeak drivers due to them being the topic of recent posts.

@charles1dad ,
Sorry for the confusion. Lots of posts on the DIs. 

@mac48025,
I thought about your offer but decide to wait on your DI SE's instead when you upgrade to the soon to be released Double Impact SE Turbo MK2.

Brief RMAF coverage of the Tekton rooms by Patrick Dillon of AudioMatters...

" Tekton Design
There's been enormous buzz on various forums about Tekton Design's speakers. Chief Eric Alexander was on hand in one room to demo a pair of floorstanders ($3k) with Parasound amps, while the Parasound room down the hall used a pair of his Double Impact Monitors in their system. Visually, these are nothing special but the multi-tweeter design does catch the eye.

My conversation with Eric was interesting. He is a man on a mission who has a distinct view that most speakers are following the wrong design principles. He aims to develop products which respond more like the natural wavelaunch of real instruments in terms of moving mass and speed. I admire his passion and wish him well.  Quick take: the floorstanders looked as if they would power out the bass with their dual large woofers, but were remarkably light in that regard. Might have been something to do with the recordings chosen (Eric Clapton live at San Diego mostly when I was there on two occasions). There's a sort of planar quality to the sound that is deceptive given the box nature of the design.  The monitors delivered a Michael Hedges track on a Marantz table through Parasound amplification with tremendous body and detail, and provide stiff opposition to many other monitors at the $2k price point. I could easily see a great music system being build around them.  Indeed, that Parasound room with the Marantz TT15-s1 ($1495, Clearaudio MM cartridge included) into a Halo JC 3 Jr phono ($1495, to be released later this year) and Halo Integrated ($2595), all connected up with the more affordable end of Straight Wire cable ($670 for the lot used) was one such rig. Great sound all round for less than $10k the lot."
