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.

Basically the only way to infringe your patent (and even that’s debatable) is to claim the same exact nonsense you do. But why would anyone want to do that? Other than that, thousands of other manufacturers can and do use these simple inexpensive Eminence and SB drivers and are free to arrange them in any flower petal shape they desire. 

If a common paper cone or textile dome matches the mass of a certain instrument that you claim and has this magical benefit, then we’ve all been doing the same exact thing for over 100 years. This is absurd.

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Invictus, William Ernest Henley.



"We are still masters of our fate. We still are captains of our souls." 

And apparently [We still set the bar for embarrassment.]

Nice review Eric! 

Guess the guys guys talking about comb filtering and uneven frequency response might shut the hell up!! Nahhh. That won’t happen. LOL

I’m going to ignore the pointless negativity. I honestly believe after doing a lot of research and auditioning my Di’s are giving me performance I could not afford with out Eric and Tekton Designs hard work. Speaking of which I mentioned about 5 weeks or so ago that I pulled the trigger on Aric Audio’s Mother Load pre amp. I’ve had it just over three weeks and it is working out with my DI’s beautifully. Increased clarity, low end punch (which I was not expecting) dynamics, overtones and decay increased as well. The latest development was sound stage improvement. Center tightened up and spacing between instruments began to spread out. I’ve been working out of town on week days so weak end listening is about all I have. I have around 60 hours and I’ve been told it takes about 50 before the Dueland capacitors begins open up so I am excited. Aric’s new and unique push pull might have to be my eventual amp upgrade. Life is good.
