WE 10 gauge is actually on the warm side completely. Owners know this about the 10 gauge. Wonderful full bodied cable. That is why I own it. The 16 gauge is more lively. My system is geared and specifically tweaked for rich, full bodied sound. The modified BPT and CPT all help as well as the WE10 gauge. The Lyngdorf with room correction assures the DI speakers sound as intended also. The Lyngdorf is quite neural, but leans on the warm side of things.
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.

Teajay, Loved seeing/reading your review of the Ulfberht's! Thanks! https://hometheaterreview.com/tekton-design-ulfberht-floorstanding-speaker-reviewed/?page=2 Eric Alexander - audio designer |
Grannyring, Thanks a lot for your feedback!! I have followed you and Charles (charles1dad) for a very long time, and I value your opinions greatly. You both call a spade a spade, so I price your feedback on audio gear very high. While we can all argue that performance on a component can't solely be judged on the cost, any sensible person knows that quality parts and implementation plays a major part. I have interest in the Tekton SEs and still do. I expected quality drivers but you saw the designers response. It appears to him that all that matters is the sound, and that there was/is no need for people to ask for the drivers used because the sound alone answers it all. Your quote " Let’s just say Tekton needs additional talent and help moving forward if they want to achieve sustainable success" is spot on. Tekton is doing something great for us audiophiles in that he is bringing affordable speakers with great sound to us, but he need to be open to criticism on improvements. Also, how he responds to the critics is very important as his personality/ego could show in his responses. As a designer/manufacturer/owner of a company/seller, how he treats customers, whether good or bad, will decide his fate in this business going forward. |
