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.

I love the seven tweeters. They do so remind me of the good old days and the Bose 901's. If only we had two more tweeters.

@Craigl59 I can see how a person who wants accuracy and detail for studio use would definitely have a clearer understanding regarding timbral accuracy and tonal weight and body.  I think I'm more forgiving and more interested in hearing a warmer, smoother, and richer sound that lacks accuracy because it can make enjoying poor recordings easier and long listening sessions more enjoyable.  I like 2nd/3rd order distortion because it rounds things out sonically.  I can't quite grasp how the Nords simulate a tube amplifier, but I assume their input buffer stage is to blame or praise depending on the intent of the user.












@soundsrealaudio I concur and 15 Tweeters is better than 7, LMAO! 











(I'm really just trying to make my post long enough to get this thread to the 100th page!)

@jcarcopo  It's the number of posts that get's you there, not the length. In accordance I have added one to meet your wishes that much sooner. : )

@craigl59 @jcarcopo  I'll be writing up a 'journey' review which will, among other things, shine a spotlight on why I chose solid state and more power for my system. I believe it will address some of the things you have been working on and trying to achieve. It's been really nice learning more about what each of you has worked through and is trying to accomplish.

@jcarcopo Thank you for sharing your impressions of the very first Encores and their response to amplification components.

BTW, three posts in an effort to help out. Six more posts and you'll be on page 100.
