Tekton Impact


The Tekton Double Impacts have been receiving rave reviews, including here on AG. Has anyone heard the smaller, lighter, less expensive Impacts? How do they compare with the larger DIs?

No, the Electrons are smaller and lighter than the DIs....but actually $50. more expensive than the latter. The Impacts are listed on the Tekton website and are 'baby"(?) DIs. I'd be interested to hear about the Electrons as well.
Powerglide,
That's a sensational endorsement of the Impacts! How did you decide which Tektons to select? I assume the DIs were too large....but what about the Brilliants and Electrons?
Yes, a comparison of the Impacts with the Spatial M3s would be appreciated. Actually Eric has his own Open Baffle speakers which are down-priced from 3K to $1750....these were given a full 5 star rating by Teajay, just like the DIs.
Powerglide,
Eric seemed to feel the DIs weren't much of a step-up from the Impacts, but you're using a sub-woofer for the latter. I don't think anyone has felt the DIs need reinforcement at the bottom end. Apparently the Impacts are lacking some slam....but I guess that's to be expected at that price point.
Since the Electrons seem to be the "official" baby DIs, just what do the former lack in comparison? The Electrons are smaller and lighter, but just a few dollars less. I have a room available that is 11'x10'....obviously too small for the DIs. I'm presently housing a pair of Zu Soul Superflys with a small subwoofer in this room.
Powerglide,
Yes, I do have a Dennis Had Inspire SET amp....the Electron's sensitivity rating is only 2 less than the Impact. The latter at around 1.8K may very well be the "bargain of the century".....so back to what is lacking in comparison to the DIs and Electrons (if anything in a small room)? There's also Eric's O.B. Sigma downpriced from 3K to 1.75K, which also received a rave review from Teajay.
I just noticed on the Tekton website, the Impacts are listed as weighing 89 pounds.....previously it showed 71 pounds; which is it?
