Heind, how would you know? All the people with first had listening experience sure couldn’t know as much about what they sound like as someone who arbitrarily decided they can’t be any more than a fad? I’ve read about everything I could find on the internet about tektons myself. Almost all give high praise, and are detailed about what they are praising, and those details don’t seem radish at all. Also read where two professional reviewers for noted magazines made Tekton their reference speakers in their own systems. The negative reviews I have read were either by people who havnt even heard them, and went on to explain how and why they could not sound good, or by people who seem like their fixated against them for their design, or love for another brand that some have said the Tektons were better than, without giving details of what about the sound disappoints in the way that those who enjoy them seem to be able to give their reasons. I’m sure some people will prefer other speakers, as everyone has different preferences in sound, and i for one enjoy many different types, and try not to pigeon hole myself, just let my ears decide.
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.
