Thanks Bill! As mentioned, you were instrumental in this collaborative process.
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.

Came across this recent review of the Valvet E2 (link posted below). I've posted the link because it is a low power Class A Solid State amplifier that may be a pairing to consider with the Double Impacts. It is also 'reasonably' priced for a Class A amp.

David, the build on this is a thing of beauty. If it sounds as good as it looks, it'll be a winner. And, as you suggest, probably would be a great match with the DI's. Listening tonight to Yo-Yo Ma playing Vivaldi's Cello Concertos on a Sony box set. Man, this one CD alone is worth the cost of the whole set! The DI's render this beautifully, full of detail and ambience. I'm enjoying my pair of Hsu ULS-15 subs coupled to the DI's. I'll save my thoughts until after I finish the acoustic treatments to my room. Picked up materials today for a large soffit bass trap that will run the full length of the back wall/ceiling. The remainder of the treatments will be commercial products that will be decided upon in the next week or so. |
