Agreed about the 7 tweeter array, I'll go further saying the 15 tweeter array in the Encore and Ulf is also worth going for! I heard the Encores at RMAF and the extra information gained by having tweeter domes producing midrange from 300 Hz up is startling, the sweet spot in the Tekton line for me would be the Encores, that transparent midrange coupled with the solid low bass and superior dynamics make it my winner. I'm finding that more efficient speakers, cones, planars, or horns, with ratings of 94 dB or higher, really let music have more of the dynamic excitement live music provides and gets me more emotionally involved in the music. Congratulations Eric on making so many great speakers to choose from, and making them affordable!
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.

Tekton Impact Monitor Theater System review by Michael Trei // Sound & Vision: https://www.soundandvision.com/content/tekton-design-impact-monitor-theater-system-review |
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! |
Great to see this thread so active still. @iclickjohn, congrats. Looking forward to hearing your impressions with you DI's and PL. Make sure you're well rested when they arrive.....you just might be up all night listening to all of your music as if it was your first time hearing it. I'll have Aric's latest amp creation, a parallel 300B PP delivering 25 watts, to compare to his 300B SET that I've been enjoying for the last year. Should be a fun comparison. Charles and iclickjohn will be stopping over to hear them, maybe Corelli will venture to this side of the state to join us......and bring some Founders? 🍻 🔈 |
