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 DI owners: I'm thinking about adding a subwoofer to my set up. Currently driving the DIs from a McIntosh MA275 which has a discrete sub output. It's set up in a fairly large room. Used for listening to records and CDs only, so not a multi-channel rig. Have any of you added a sub to your DIs? Any recommendations on the various Tekton subs? Love the way the DIs sound but I I could do with more bottom at lower volume. |
Keeping up, at least with my audio related New Year resolutions..... A reminder for doing the following (which most of you are): Tightened the driver units on my SEs. There was no play in the tweeter array, very minor play in the two accompanying mid-range drivers, AND definite play in the bass woofer screws. Also applied Caig DeoxIT to the Cardas Binding Posts and Speaker Cable terminations. Result: tighter sound and imaging. |
@lee59 It would be nice if long threads had a better way to search topics within them. 1,623 posts ago (just kiddin) this was touched upon. I run a pair of Hsu ULS-15 MK2 DualDrive (2 ULS-15 MK2) subs. My DI's, in my room, were reaching down to the lower 30hz range. I wanted things flat down to just below 20hz and the Hsu's accomplished that very nicely. I have had no integration issues. The sound is tight and effortless. For me they hit the nail squarely on the head and they are an extremely high value item--just like the DI's! |
