You won’t get the sump pressure levels out of a double impact unless you add the subs that they offer. They offered one called the 410. Two of those to the double impact and you’ll be really happy.I had that set up for about a year and then I sold the double impacts and got the next speaker up call the moabs and that really burn down the house
Tekton customers in Los Angeles
Hi Everyone, seriously considering the double impact SEs configured at 4ohm with Naim Nova at 155w a channel. I live within the Los Angeles area and hoping to synch up with an audiogon tekton customer who wouldnt mind discussing your real world all around experience and possible demo of your speakers before I decide to commit on a purchase. I’m a drummer and recovering Audiophile at heart and looking for an all in one system for around 10 to 14k that gives me the realistic sound pressure levels that drums can produce, but can’t afford a 50k system.
Really appreciate your help

Get Moabs. fuzztone is correct no one NEEDS subs. But you do want them. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 Tekton 4-10 is probably the most cost-effective way to go. They came out after I built mine or I would have them. You want volume and impact, that physical slam you get from the real thing, nothing will touch that like this combo. Certainly nothing anywhere near your budget. So you start with Moab and 4-10. If you want the Naim, okay fine, lots of power and a player, makes sense. You are at $11k. Put the Moabs on Townshend Podiums. You are gonna think this is crazy, $2500 for damn speaker springs. You will be playing drums loud. The whole room is shaking. You will not believe the difference! Lots cleaner, faster, with way better slam and extension. Takes you one big step closer to that LIVE sound. Matter of fact put Townshend Pods under that amp. Same improvement. Like a whole component upgrade. You now have about $500 to a grand left for speaker cables. Set yours up like mine, amp in the middle, you will only need 6 or 8 ft speaker cables. That will get you some very good ones from Synergistic Research. People love to knock Synergistic because they are so successful with so many different cables over so many decades. Well there is a reason for that. Unlike almost all the other hyped up thin sounding top end heavy audiopile cables SR puts out a sound that is BIG and FULL and THERE! They have been making so many for so long there’s a lot out there and the pricing is solid enough you can pretty much find the newest/closest to whatever you have left to spend and be sure it will put a big smile on your face. Too bad you are in LAX if you were SEA five minutes here with Nilsson Jump Into the Fire and you would know I know what I’m talking about. |
