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.

No worries on the tweeters. First off no need to rewire all of them for the upgrades.  You can just deal with the tweeter connections to the crossover. Use this heat sink as @jcarcopo refers to....

Easy and you will not ruin the tweeters. 
@grannyring Yes sir, that's the one.  No teeth at all is best. (deletes funny double entendre) 
@mac48025. You will want to mod the SEs as they will have the better drivers. I can assure you the crossover parts can be upgraded in the SE reflecting more of what I used.

Duelund would not be possible due to the crazy high cost. Remember the cap values are as high as 220uf, 68uf, and 10 or 12uf. Sure in the 1.5 uf cap on the center tweeter. A 12uf Duelund CAST cap costs $1300. A 40uf Duelund cap costs $3300. A custom 68uf and several combined caps to get you to 220uf would cost some $10,000 per speaker! Oh my! If you go this route have a master woodworker make you a great set of new cabs and outboard crossover boxes. Two inch thick front baffle and works!

No worries, great choices beyond Duelund here!  On values up to 15uf you can use the wonderful Jupiter copper foil or  Jupiter HT Aluminum foil caps in wax. On the large value caps I used Mundorf Evo Oil to make up the 220uf cap. The best sounding large value cap I know of is the Mundorf Supreme Evo Silver & Gold. It is expensive, but nothing like the cost of the Duelund. The stock SEs will not have parts of this quality. Also go with Path Audio resistors. All of these are too big for the cab and will placed externally. 

These parts are better sounding than the electroltyics or lower range Clarity film caps used in the stock and SE speakers. 


LOL! Agreed. Imagine also using Duelund inductors in the DIs! They are the best and very costly. Then wire it all up using the wonderful  Mundorf silver and gold wire placed in a silk and cotton sheathing.  Oh what a DIY fantasy dream!
