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.

Hey sproket75, You are more the welcome to come hear the DI's at my home. Just send me an Email at [email protected] Just put back the ZOTL-40 amplifier back in the system for some listeners who wanted some Jimi Hendrix and James Brown at "party" level DB levels. Well, the DI's with forty watts stayed absolutely clean with no distortion/strain at all and shook the room. This was at levels that you don't want to listen to for very long time periods, unless you don't care about going deaf! |
Teajay, do you find that the MZ2-S has enough headroom for dynamic transients when driving the DI's without the ZOTL 40? I imagine that if you can obtain 100 db sound levels with the MZ alone that the ZOTL 40 could rupture more than eardrums! Having gone back and forth between the two, what's your preference? Thanks for your input. |
Hey mac48025, For my personal taste both in music, mainly acoustic jazz, and volume levels, mainly based on the size of the instruments/singer, along with dynamics about 95% of the time I'm fine without the ZOTL-40 amp. For a matter of fact I'm going to start experimenting with the Micro-ZOTL driving SET 2A3 or 300B based amps in the next couple of weeks. This should be very interesting, can I get the overall power/pop of the Micro-ZOTL and all the meat on the bones and color of either of these tubes? Going from the 1 watt of the Micro-ZOTL as an amp to either 4 or 8 watts for the SET amps could be a match made in heaven! The combo of LTA is still world class, these other combinations will give different tastes and this experimenting is possible because the DI's are such an easy load to drive. |
