| Tekton Double Impacts See the new August Stereophile for a very positive review of the Tekton Impact Monitors by Herb Reichert. I’m very happy with my pair, the 2nd pair ever made (serial# 0003 &0004). Herb says: "Few speakers can play every musical genre with the ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Speaking of tubes, just got in the new TAS (#276). Harley did a review of the Berning 211/845 monobloc amplifier (a cool $75,000/pair). Called it the "finest amplifier I’ve ever heard". No mushy rolled off classic tube sound here with "superb bass... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I'll echo Waltersalas and say please chill everyone. Custom speakers ordered from other ID companies (i.e. Salk & Ascend ) can take many months to build and deliver, especially with a custom finish. A lot of the Tekton designs are brand new... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors I have just moved my Impact Monitors a little closer to the front wall (the front of the speaker is 2 feet from the front wall now). Also moved my listening position a bit more out into the room. The mid/upper bass has filled out, the sound is b... | |

| Tekton Double Impacts jcarcopo,I'm the same way with my Impact Monitors; I'm going through my wholeCD collection, everything sounds different and usually better-pawsman | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors danoroo,I use 24" Sanus stands with the IM, but the top plate was too small, soI cut a 9" x 12" piece of 3/4" white pine, painted it gloss black and screwed it to the top plate. It works fine, the middle tweeter is right at ear level-pawsman | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors kdude66 & ky1mag,I checked with my flashlight, and the tweeter is indeed the SB Acoustics26STCN-C0004. With this talk of a Scanspeak driver upgrade on the DI, I wonder if he’ll be doing the same with the Impact Monitors and offer anSE version?... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors ky1mag,I'll try the flashlight trick through the port and try to see the brand logo. david_ten - the upper half of the DI is different; I think the 6" drivers areEminence-pawsman | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors I have a picture of the tweeter array, but I don't know how to post it here-pawsman | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors kdude66, ky1mag, giantsalami:My Impact Monitors have the Tymphany dome tweeters and SB Acoustics 6 1/2" mid/bass drivers (this info from a phone call with Eric).The Website still has the picture of the original ring radiator tweeters, they haven’t... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors I have serial #0003 & 0004, so we’ve got all 3 owners of the Impact Monitors here (until ky1mag sent his back). I’ve had them for 7 weeks, and I’m keeping them. I have a medium size room, 13’ x 15’, have them on the short wall about 3 ft. from... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts audionoobie,someone in NJ has a brand new pair of DI’s FS on the Emotiva Forum-" How much toe-in are you guys using?"-porscheracer I talked to Eric about toe-in yesterday; he says toe them inso the Speaker axis crosses 2-4 feet behind the listener... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I've got the Dome tweeter in my Impact Monitors; the picture on Tekton's website shows the ring radiator (with the nipple) I believe. BTW, just listened to the Pittsburgh SO doing Strauss' Elektra & Rosenkavalier suites on Reference Recordings... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Nonoise,'I've had the Impact monitors only 5 days, but they've done some amazing things already. I'm in a quandary similar to Waltersalas; I've already got a highly regarded pair of 2-way monitors with a midrange of Danish origin and a RAAL tweete... |
