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.

Hi jcarcopo,
Congratulations on acquiring your new speakers. It is indeed a welcome discovery to realize that they sound fabulous straight out of the shipping boxes. I get the sense that these speakers have already exceeded what I presume were high expectations. It’s nice to read they sound so well with your 6 watt Diavolo SET amplifier. I suspect that you’ll also be very pleased with your higher powered class D amplifier driving them as well. I’m glad the purchase of these speakers has worked out so well. You emphasize the "natural " sound quality you are  hearing. This suggests that the speakers are very transparent and with little/low coloration thus allowing the true beauty of your amplifier to be displayed, very nice 😊.

@aolprodj Thanks for sharing your take on the differences. As I mentioned in a previous post, I need to get to Chicago for a listen.

@jcarcopo  Fantastic news and results! Congratulations on being the first owner of the Encore. Looking forward to hearing more about these speakers, how they respond to your differing amplification, and differences from the DIs.

The fact that you were up past 3am speaks volumes!

@charles1dad Thanks, I'll get around to swapping amps soon to see how they fair with the Nords I have on hand, but for a few days I just want to bask in the glory of the sound I'm already getting.

@david_ten Thanks, yeah rarely am I so enjoying my listening session that I'm unable to sleep because I'm enjoying myself to much.

More to come! 
More to discover
