+2 for Aric Audio! His gear is first rate, and his client service is equally great. I have the original Motherlode preamp and it continues to impress me and all those who see and hear it.
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.

which mag. I would like to see measurements. https://www.stereophile.com/content/tekton-design-impact-monitor-loudspeaker-measurements |
To my knowledge, there are no published measurements. I would expect the DI's to measure similarly to the monitors but with greater low end extension. Will they reach their published sensitivity? Highly doubt it. The vast majority of speakers do not. Nothing new there. Sensitivity does not the whole story tell. Other factors come into play in determining how a given speaker will perform with lower powered tube electronics. And it's a fact that many on this thread have been thrilled by what the DI's can do with 300b or 2a3 SE amps. |
