Tekton Double Impacts

Tekton Design was far from the first loudspeaker company to publish SPL measurements as we’ve disclosed for years now and if this is the biggest shortcoming found within the Double Impact I’m thrilled! It even looks like someone has already figured out the 2.0V 4 Ohm SPL on this thread. At least I have the courage to advertise it as a 4 Ohm speaker since a few of our competitors (famous mainstream manufacturers) disguise their 4 Ohm loudspeakers as 8 Ohm models - they’ve done this for decades.

Regarding the patent claims... it’s real folks. No P.T. Barnum going on here and the patent examiner agreed with us and gave us a patent allowance.

Respectfully, anyone having trouble grasping the concept of speaker cone moving mass and it’s integral relationship to musical sources: will you please call me prior to making me out to be a bumbling idiot on here. I’ll gladly walk you through it.

I can also see how my claim of others speakers becoming subtly obsolete might be considered inflammatory or even offensive to some. I tend to be candid and frank in my thoughts/opinions. I make the claim and I stand behind it. We have something truly special going on here - you’ll discern it or you won’t. I’m not trying to take over the loudspeaker world nor sell hype... I’m simply want to offer high-quality high-value loudspeaker products.

Thanks for the nice write-up mykeryte. Great to hear from folks with first-hand experience. The statement about whether a sub was or was not used in one of the demos got me to thinking. Since the Double Impacts are spec'd down to 20Hz, wouldn't that make a subwoofer unnecessary? Maybe I'm missing something, or don't fully understand the concept; but I was always under the impression that anything that could produce clean response down to 25Hz - or below - was considered "full range." Translation (to me at least) -> no sub needed. Is that not the case? Anybody?

I had two Vandersteen subs that I used for years with a variety of speakers but not with the DI's.......and they aren't missed at all. The DI's have some of the best bass I've heard. The bass goes low, it's tight, fast and blends seemlessly with the other drivers. Would adding subs make them sound even better? Probably, but I'll not be in a rush to do so........even as enticing as the Tekton Brisance subs look.

Thanks mac48025, that is just the kind of information I was looking for. Much appreciated!

mykeryte, wondering if you had any comparisons in the 5-8k range new that would be good competitors for the double impact? I just ordered them so obviously I am hoping they are very good. What do you think the Sahas do better or other speakers of a higher price point. I am really just curious so not trying to act like I bought world beaters since I haven't heard them yet nor have I heard the Wilsons. Did a demo with some big ole Focal speakers that I could never afford a few years back in a treated room powered by really pricey front end and it was jaw dropping.
