Tekton Double Impacts

Hey, that's good coverage! Congrats @tektondesign !

People seem like they have to sound a little apologetic in this audio world, for owning $3k speakers, because mo-money = mo-better (or at least we psych ourselves up to hear that). If this guy was giving this speech in front of some police officers, he would crack, break down, and be like, "Man, okay, I really loved these speakers, but I don't want to lose my job. The chick is holding the weed, I swear! You heard her at the beginning of the video! I didn't inhale!"

Anyway, these cats on the video were laughing at some really unfunny stuff, so they must have been high in Colorado. Good for them!

I'll go next year and get medicinal, too. :-)

Thanks Evolvist. Orders are being taken now for the Double Impact SE's so get your orders in now to mitigate the wait for delivery. If you don't have a dealer in your area call my assistant Karma and she'll get you in the queue.

If we're lucky we'll have the SE page up later on today (probably without an image).

Regarding the "trial period"... it's a yes for now.

Regarding the "drivers" we're using in the SE... it's off the table and is not a topic for discussion. Building a great performing loudspeaker is like designing a 'torque curve' on a racing engine. Every conceivable part is on the table, the camshaft, pistons, fuel delivery system, etc... and most importantly... it's a secret since you have competitors. I'll pick and choose and narrow it down to ones that lend themselves to the design and I just might change or tweak it on the fly down the road.

The gentleman that purchased our RMAF show pair of Double Impacts told me he was purchasing them because they were the best sounding speakers at the show. I've had others tell me this too. Best sound...?! I don't know. Last weekend I experienced something I've never experienced at another audio show. This was, watching the same people coming back to the room over and over again, and people coming in telling me they'd been told by others they had to come hear this room. Folks really had their discernment hats on and they were enamored with the sound.

Personally, I have to say that in the audiophile attribute of 'REALISM' I did not hear better performing speakers than the original Double Impact and the Impact Monitor's. The mid-range was as close to perfect as it gets and the human voice was so real in the room it was like the singer was standing before you. In my opinion, the $58K Wilson Alexia was really really close in my estimation and was the best contender I found.

Btw, my DI SEs are on order in high gloss piano black.  Does anybody know if the midrange, tweeters, and 6" woofers are in a separate enclosure from the two 10" woofers?  Do you think outboard crossovers will be offered in the future?

They are in separate enclosures - gotta be this way.
