When I was a kid, my dad would take me out to the Mojave desert to ride dirt bikes with a bunch of his police cronies and their kids. McQueen was a frequent rider in with the group. I didn't know he was famous until years later when I saw him in a movie. In that desert setting, he was anything but anti-social and never had a "don't bug" me attitude. Probably because he was just one of the guys and treated that way.....
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.

@snapsc - We've got a thread going on the Impact Monitors which will answer your questions. Here is the link: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/tekton-impact-monitors Bottom line: they throw a huge soundstage and will most likely compete very well with the Maggies and KEFs. |
@sbayne - thanks for the heads up. I'm hoping that anyone on the forum who has owned or seriously compared maggie 1.7i s to the DI Monitor, Brilliance or electron can chime in as to clarity and tone....Overall, it would be easier to just talk to Eric but as many have noted, he is so darn busy (good thing) that he is hard to get through to. I have noticed that he follows and comments from time to time on Audigon @Tektondesign so maybe he will see this and offer some thoughts. I suspect there are a lot of people who would like to hear about what differentiates the DI, DI Monitor, Brilliance and Electron from each other. I'm certain that musicality was the goal for all four of them but what are the nuances that make them different? It is these nuances that allow people to choose the Brilliance instead of the Electron for their system with less concern about having to make a return. |
