Yes, they are very sensitive to all changes made upstream and positioning as I've mentioned before. More so than any other speaker I own. But they don't sound bad with the changes , just different, so you can really season to taste. In contrast my Vandersteens (3A Sigs) require you to get them just right or they will not perform and you will be frustrated! Once they are dialed in with just the right positioning, tilt back, etc, they come to life. Tektons change but always sound good when you change. In other words they reveal everything. This weekend I'm going to see how the Mosfet based Counterpoint Solid 1A fares. It's been out of service for a few years and now it's been fixed. More of a tube like sound vs the PSE amp (Bipolar) which is very clean. I really like the PSE amp so with the Tektons revealing capabilities I'm sure I'll be able to hear the differences in the sonic traits of these 2 amplifiers.
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.
