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.

Hello, I’ve been a lurker for most of the last past year over this discussion. I was really interested on buying the DI but unfortunately they are so far out of my reach. But now that Eric designed the Perfect SET, I’m almost set on them (pun intended). I live outside the US, so I cannot test them at home, but I trust a brand and an equipment when several knowledgeable fellow music lovers raves about them.

I was reading with great interest the thread by Teejay about their initial thoughts about the Perfect SET, but the discussion was removed by the moderators. It seems that there’s a couple of individuals that have an agenda against Eric and Tekton. So far, I’ve counted about ten discussions about Tekton speakers that have been removed over the last few weeks because of them.

Obviously, if I was Teejay, I wouldn’t rewrite another thread, but what I would like to know is if he’s willing to write about his findings on this thread, that is out of reach of those "gentlemen".

I know that as a rule, I shouldn’t ask for someone to hijack a thread, but it seems that this is the only safe place to hear about the opinions from other owners, as I’m willing to bet that the moderators won’t delete a 107 page discussion.

What I specifically want to know is if a cheap and cheerful 6.8 Watt Chinese SEP amp would do this speakers any justice.

Thank you for your help.
Hello estuardo4,

Yes, the Perfect Set would be a great match with your amplifier.  Eric's new speaker is quite terrific.  I'm sure you would be very pleased with it in your system.
Hi estuardo4, just an idea.  If I was in your position and out of the U.S., I think I would volunteer to pay extra and have the PS speakers boxed in a DI or similar larger box with a lot of extra packing material, or better yet, to see if the regular PS shipping box can be double boxed in another of larger size like a DI, Encore, ULF box.  Again, just an idea.
teajay,
Like estuardo4 I thought better ask this question here as well...

Another Coincident Dynamo SE question: my current main system is DeVore Orangutan 0/96 with Leben CS600. It is my intention to pair a Coincident Dynamo SE (also own LTA MZ2) with the PERFECT speakers, Border Patrol DAC in a 14x17x9 room as second system. Do you think this system, PERFECT, will compare favorably with the DeVore's? Best, mikirob 
mikirob,

I think you’ll have the makings of a very nice system with the Coincident, LTA, Border Patrol and Perfect SET’s. All great products!

I have and love the Border Patrol DAC with an Aric Audio 300B SET with the Tekton SE’s and I love the music it makes. The Perfect SET’s intrigue me as an easier to drive speaker alternative. Obviously teajay will better answer your question but I wanted to commend you on your choices.

good luck.
