@muzikmann. The question was rhetorical, and I actually have not seen posts to this extent evaluating every aspect of a component builders' methods or reasoning! Have you? I think what I really see here is people love the DI's and are thinking about them in a deep way . Exciting, isn't it?
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.

@greg22lz, But Bill was NOT putting down the DIs other than making people aware to accept other opinions regarding sound since there are variants of these speakers with different parts. Is that a bad thing for him to say? Most of us or posters on this thread are here because of a GOOD thing: great sounding speakers for less $$$. Does that mean some can’t pass on meaningful/useful information to others here or make constructive criticism about the speakers? |
@muzikmann. I did not mean to come off against Bill in any way. I don't believe I did but Ido believe that a manufacturer has be consistent in their approach as does Bill. My guess was parts availability as well as sound tweaks that might be driving the differences in speakers. I purchased mine in September and I don't know what parts are in my speakers. If you read my posts you will see that I was basically on the same page as Bill. |
I appreciate all of the information shared here and am more excited than ever to get my DI SE's as I feel they will the best possible sound from the DI while conforming to Eric's design intentions. Is it possible that they could be modded to better tailor my personal preferences? Maybe, but that's above my pay scale and I'd most likely do more harm than good! Listening to my DI's now I find it difficult to believe they could sound much better......until I hear something that sounds better and I'm hoping the SE's do just that. I very much appreciate all of Eric's time and passion in creating speakers I've been enjoying for over three years now ( from the Enzo's to the DI's and soon the DI SE's) and I can appreciate grannyring's and others desire to tailor their sound to their liking. No right or wrong, better or worse.....just differences in listening preferences. It's all good. |
