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.

Much thanks for the comments about what kind of speaker stands are being used and benefits. I will checkout the various suggestions. Under my previous Martin Logans speakers I used a combination of Mapleshade plinths and Star Sound Technology Audio Points. But the DIs are too tall for that combination.

Hey everybody,

Clement Perry of the website Stereo Times just posted an all out RAV regarding the Encore Speaker.  Virtually, his total staff now use Tekton Design Speakers in their systems.  They had owned much more expensive brands that got out performed by Eric's models.  I have had the pleasure of reviewing/listening to DI's, DI SE's, DI monitors, and ULF's, they are all great!  According to Mr. Perry, Eric has brought down most of the performance of the ULF's into the smaller and less costly Encore.  I don't agree with his take on the difference between the DI's and the DI SE's, so were the Encore performance fits in compared to the DI SE's I'll have to assess when I hear a pair of Encores.

@teajay I’m glad you brought this point up. It’s also a point of disagreement for me. Like you, I will have to listen to the Encores to know for sure.

Having visited you and @audioezra and from my first listen of the Ulfberths in @bullitt5094 ’s system I believe I now have a good feel for the differences between the SEs and Ulfberths. The feedback on the Encores does not jive with that.


@waltersalas concurs with Clement’s assessment so there’s likely something to what they, and others, are finding!!! : )
