Tekton Double Impacts
David, I have much appreciation for you as you know.  Here's my take,  Shadorne is dismissive of Clement Perry and Teajay due to their praise of a speaker heard in their respective systems.  It bothers him that they both find the DI comparable or ... 
I need help, please? Listening to my system through music!
I’ve heard the Triode Corp amplifiers with the Acoustic Zen Crescendos and the sound was superb. However in your case you aren’t happy with the sound and most importantly you are listening less to music. I would sell the amplifier and return to yo...

Hi Jet, Thanks for posting.  I'll listen later this evening. Charles

Eric,Good point, but again the feedback from dissatisfied customers is based on them having heard the speaker.  Would you accept negative feedback from someone who hasn't even listened to the speakers?Charles

David, I respectfully disagree with your post 😊. This has been and continues to be an open thread with different viewpoints and experiences expressed. No rule says we all must agree (and we don’t). You wrote that we see and "hear" differently and ...

Shadorne, In   an earlier post today I asked you to share your listening impression of the Double Impacts.  It seems clear that you have no actual direct listening experience with these speakers. Your car analogy is simply a function of how you be...

Hi Premnath, Congratulations on getting the Double Impact SE and I believe that they will mate in  excellent fashion with your amplifier. No regrets in my opinion. Hi Walter,Your Line Magnetic 508ia with the SE versions? I honestly believe this wo...

Hi Jcarcopo, For me it isn't a case of being "too" polite, I'm just asking him to support his comments.  Either he's heard the Double Impacts or he hasn't. I'm open to anyone's opinion on a forum such as this one. I don't expect everyone to agree ...

Waltersalas, I just assumed that Shadome has listening experience with the Double Impacts but I certainly could be wrong. Otherwise how  could one express such a definitive opinion without actual listening contact? Again I may be working with an i...

He Shadome, Clement Perry has the Double Impacts in his listening room and with components he’s intimately familiar with. I’ve read numerous reviews by him over the years and if anything he tends to gravitate to and favor the higher cost upper end...

Hi Jcarcopo, Thanks,  I understand more clearly now your "ultimate" objective and I hope it all comes to fruition for you.Charles

Mofojo, To clarify I don't own the Double Impacts.  I was referring to the Coincident Total Eclipse II speakers I have.  I was just giving an example of speakers that have Scanspeak drivers due to them being the topic of recent posts. Charles

Hi Musikmann, Yes as I acknowledged people do have certain expectations as the cost rises.   My perspective is the major  justification for more expensive parts is they will provide improved sound quality. Believe me, I am an advocate of high qual...

Jcarcopo, My speaker’s drivers are all Scanspeak, two 10" woofers, two 6,5" midrange and their  esteemed 1" Revelator tweeter. So to a certain degree I see your point concerning presumed upgrade drivers. However I’d give Eric much benefit of the d...

Hi Tom, Congratulations on ordering the Double Impact SE speakers. Wow! You’ve been on a serious ( but well thought out) upgrading spree lately 😊. Concert Fidelity 040 DAC, Aric SEP amplifier and these speakers. In my opinion you are assembling an...
