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.

David:

So I take it that you had to drill out the bottoms of your speakers an used some brass threaded inserts? Did you elect to drill all the way through the wood? It seems with the 1" stud, you would have had to do that.
@craigl59: That's terrific! You are welcome.

@vitop: The Double Impacts come pre-threaded for the included spikes.


Jcarcopo, I would rate the Ulf's at a 7 on your scale. I think folks have misinterpreted my comments about how forward these speakers are. The sound quality of the Ulf's is superb, no question about it. It's the soundstage that I am commenting on. By "forward", I mean that the soundstage projects farther into the room than the DI's do. I mentioned this because in a smaller listening room, this may be too much. My listening room is 17 feet by 29 feet, with 10 foot ceilings. There is 11 feet between my speakers, and no toe-in. My listening chair is about 10 feet from the speakers. About 14 feet from the grills to my rear walls. The Ulf's are not overly bright, they don't have a "hot" treble, which is surprising when you see all those tweeters. If you enjoy vocals, the Ulfberhts will please you greatly. I hope this clears up any confusion. I would hate for folks to get the impression that the Ulf's have some sort of flaw, which they do not.

I have to comment again on the bass that the Ulf's produce, it ranges from the merely sublime on some recordings to astounding on others. If you are a fan of the low notes, these speakers will thrill you.
Thanks Jeffery for the very thorough response. A 7 isn't as bad as I was assuming. I needed that translation into a number scale to take my own bias out of the equation.  I can't fault your chosen positioning of them as a contributing factor either. You're not crunched for space at all in that space, that's for sure.

I'm not familiar with your amplifier, I researched, but found very little. What's the story on your amp?   I wish I could send you my set amp to audition just to have your assessment on the sonic presentation and overall experience, and I could, but flying pigs would need to roast in hell so we could all enjoy some BBQ prior to it freezing over before I would even go 12 hours separated by my "precious".  Seriously, I need help.

Lol 😂 
Has Teajay or anyone else had any experience with both Tekton and Zu?
I'm also interested in the Druid V.
