Tekton Impact


The Tekton Double Impacts have been receiving rave reviews, including here on AG. Has anyone heard the smaller, lighter, less expensive Impacts? How do they compare with the larger DIs?

Lula,
during my initial contact with Eric at Tekton Designs I explained my desire for an easy to drive speaker which would not restrict the Microzotl2's capabilities and asked him what speakers were the most detailed. Without hesitation he responded the Impacts. The DI were not available yet, nor were the others you mentioned. The DI's were released within weeks after. I spoke with Eric on what the advantage would be to purchase the DI's over my Impacts and was told I would get a little more of the overall sound but identical condition of sound quality.
Having never heard Tektons I felt sure that the need to return them would come sooner than later, so as a joke I ordered the yellow color. The joke was on me. And yes the color plays light beautifully. I am still having difficulty wrapping my head around how an $1800 speaker can manifest this reality of instruments in the room along with everything else they do. I was not trying to be sensational in any manner when conveying my experience. When you hear these you will then fully understand my very strong statements pertaining to the experience.
That certainly is a tantalizing endorsement. I am waiting to hear more about the Electrons, although given what you have said powerglide, I don't know if that's necessary. In my mind right now, I am wondering about a comparison between the Tektons we are discussing, and the Spatial Hologram M3 speakers. Yes, they're totally different designs, but both are praised highly by reviewers and owners, and both appeal to an audience who will be using lower powered SETs, at least part of the time. And to confuse the issue even more, Spatial has just come out with a version of the M3 that that is specially for low power SETs.
Is there anyone out there who has heard one of these Tekton models and a Spatial model?  
I was visiting Urban HiFi/Linear Tube Audio in Takoma Park and they had a pair of the Spatial M3's in their listening room. I must say they sounded very very good with the LTA gear. If I didn't already have a pair of electrostats that I like very much I could have bought them.
Yes, a comparison of the Impacts with the Spatial M3s would be appreciated. Actually Eric has his own Open Baffle speakers which are down-priced from 3K to $1750....these were given a full 5 star rating by Teajay, just like the DIs.
Powerglide,
Eric seemed to feel the DIs weren't much of a step-up from the Impacts, but you're using a sub-woofer for the latter. I don't think anyone has felt the DIs need reinforcement at the bottom end. Apparently the Impacts are lacking some slam....but I guess that's to be expected at that price point.
Yes Lancelock, and with the new M3Triode Master 16 ohm variety, I am just extremely curious. I have no way of hearing them though, although both have money back guarantees, it would be a hassle as well as expensive to return them.
