Tekton Double Impacts

Yes, if you do the math the value here is very high indeed.  It's not just the cost of the drivers, but how they were all integrated.  I think I now get what that patent is about.
The cool thing is all the options you have.  Even if you opt for a beautiful veneer cabinet the value is still high.  I'm getting used the my "high value basic black" enclosure honestly.

You're going to love their bass when it fills out corelli. It's VERY impressive. Sounds like you have a good handle on speaker placement. It amazes me how bringing the speakers together or toeing in or out a mere half inch can make a huge difference. It's tedious finding that perfect placement but well worth it when the speakers totally disappear behind a huge, seamless wall of realistic music. 

The satin black will grow on you, it's sort of industry looking. My first pair of Tektons were satin black and I liked them but the automotive paint finish of my DI's is really sweet. Not that their appearance matters when you're absorbed in the music. 

I'm glad I was helpful in your speaker purchase decision. Being the first one to get the DI's it was difficult describing what I was hearing as I couldn't believe what I was hearing from a speaker of this price. I had no one to compare my findings with for a while and find it rewarding that others are experiencing the same enjoyment from the DI's as I. If nothing else it demonstrates that I'm not totally crazy hearing what I heard! I'm really looking forward to Terry Londons review of the DI's coming out tomorrow. 

mac, I know you have probably posted this but what are your room dimensions and how did you place your speakers, seated position, and what toe in did you settle on?

Funny you ask corelli as I've been using Jim Smiths room techniques this weekend to really dial in my listening position and speaker placement. My room is 13.5'x17.5' with a 6' opening between and behind the speakers opening into a 13.5'x7' room that houses the components. Ceilings are low at 7.5'. I have 2'x2' floor to ceiling bass traps in each corner with quite a bit of room treatments throughout. Right now my speakers are 64" on center with my listening position 77" from tweeter to ear. Toe in has back of speaker 3.75" further from center line than front of speaker. Both speakers are perfectly level to one another. Without trying to the speakers are nearly one third into the room with the listening position nearly one third from the back wall. I guess the one third rule does work! I could continue with some further adjustments in the 1/4-1/2" range but I'm happy with where everything is now. Sidewall to sidewall soundstage that is deep, a warm and thick center with gorgeous tone, beautiful bass, airy highs and the speakers simply disappear. My work is done! 

Having gone through hours of "working the room" it was worth it but the sound is not greatly improved from what it was as I had things laid out pretty well before and Tekton speakers aren't fussy about placement. They will sound very good in just about any situation, I just like getting that last last bit more out of them. 

Should you wish you can check out pics of the room in my virtual system page. The speakers are no longer toe'd in as much as in the pics though. 

Time me to listen to some Holly Cole and then watch March Madness.....GO BLUE! GO STATE! 

Thanks mac.  Eventually once everything is dialed in I will work on side wall treatments .  Acoustimac makes some nice stuff at a fair price.  Will post some pics some time when I'm done.

I'm with you.  Hope the Wolverines stay hot.  They've been lightin' it up.
