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.

imo: feeding the DI's with more Current or higher watt amps is not about the Necessity, for playing music at a higher or a louder level. the extra current gives the DI's more of a sense of "Realism" in which i don't feel that lower watt (SET etc..) amps can not achieve! the higher current (quality) amps make it apparent especially while listening to instruments such as a piano or horns and drums and so forth. the Music just sounds more Real and Faithful! i heard the DI's with both a lower watt amp and a higher current amp and its a Night and Day difference in the Music Presentation or Realism in MY experience! (impact, soundstage, air etc..) the DI's are speakers that offer great flexibility, in terms of matching with a low watt amp or higher current no doubt about that! My summary: low watt amps= Clark Kent (Mild-mannered man) Higher current (quality) amps= Superman (you know the story...) Cheers..... |
@kdude66: my observations and thoughts were based on "MY EARS" and not what i heard or anything posted about the DI's! when i said higher current amp (clean and quality) both tubes and SS. the DI's produce such "Realism" and Faithful Sound that i found lacking with the low watt amps, just keeping it real! We all hear different and i understand that! so i suppose there is no right or wrong when pairing with the DI's? |
Anyone looking for a wallet friendly INT tube amp, seems to get get positive reviews. I have no personal experience with it, only sharing with the community. https://www.monoprice.com/product?c_id=109&cp_id=10919&cs_id=1091903&p_id=16153&seq=... |
Will anyone be doing a true A/B comparison between the SE DI's and the standard DI's using the same system! To see what improvements have been made in the "Sound" department, not really worried about the cosmetic updates. It's easy to jump to conclusions about a new model, I've always found doing a A/B comparison, gives me a True understanding of the differences. IMO: In the Audiophile World products that are newer or updated models sometimes are more "different" then better! I'm sure someone is going to say the SE's are way better than the standard DI's without doing a side by side comparison. Really? |
as a Tekton DI owner, my first priority is performance and the looks come second. what matters the most, is when i hit that play button or drop the needle, that is where the rubber meets the road....Thanks Eric!!! how many manufacturers, offer a 60 day in home trial with no commitment to buy. just pay the shipping cost, if you don’t like them? what Dealer or any seller on Audiogon or Ebay offers this? imo: what amazes me the most, you can buy a Tekton product at a affordable price, and get outstanding performance. and for some odd reason this bothers, a whole lot of people? there’s a bunch of speakers, that might look better and cost way more, but they pale in comparison to Tekton Performance and Value! |
