Tekton Double Impacts

Aleutian SW 6241 (Sherwin Williams)

It is a subdued light grey blue

Nice!  Hope they work out well for you (and your wife).

So I pulled the trigger on a pair of Double Impact SEs today (Charcoal).  I have been looking for a speaker upgrade for many months and have thoroughly enjoyed the process, but it was time to make a decision.  I think I listened to over 20 pairs of speakers and, of course, I have not heard the DIs, but all the enthusiasm here and on You Tube pushed me over the edge (plus I can always return them).  

The conversation about Tekton in Agon reminds me of Tesla.  Both Tesla and Tekton don't fit the conventional model and many doubt their technology and reliability - how can $3k speakers be so good?  How can an electric car take me on a road trip across the country?.  The converts (fanboys) defend the products and often get indignant when challenged.  The trolls pop up with naive, unsupported and (often) stupid comments.  Of course with Tesla I was able to drive it (many times) to confirm the superiority of the technology, but I am not able to return it (although they are currently worth more than I paid for them) - we have two.  

I will be pairing the DIs with my Hegel H160 and replacing a pair of Linn Majik 140 speakers.  I really like the Linns and think Linn speakers (all of them) don't get enough attention and respect from the audiophile community.  I hope the DIs are an upgrade for me - the Teslas certainly are.

Let's keep this thread going!

Congrats! You made a wise choice. Let us know your impressions once you get 'em in. 

Tekton speakers with onboard amps... now that's the shite me boys
