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.

Hello all,

Finally a MZ2 has arrived in my system,I'm using the tubes that were shipped with it for now,RCA 12sn7 and Ge 6201's.

This is most definitely going to be a game changer for me,I really don't want to turn it off and change tubes,maybe tomorrow.

I'm using the speaker outputs to pwr my 95db Tekton DI's.

Jccarcopo,

I have heard Lila Down’s "Semilla de Piedra" she has such a huge vocal range almost operatic.

I contemplated the SE version myself but after upgrading my crossovers and wiring I'm very happy for now.

I will be pairing the MZ2 with my push pull sit amp and my Yamamoto A09s,should be quite interesting.

Best,

Kenny.

Hello Kenny, 
Congratulations on acquiring the MZ2. 
I look forward to your listening impressions of the MZ2  as an amplifier and as a line stage mated to both the push pull and SET amplifiers.

Congrats Kenny,

I found the stock NOS tubes with the MZ didn't come close to matching the 40's RCA's, TungSol round plates or 40's Sylvania's I rolled in. The MZ responds well to tube rolling and you're in for an even greater treat when you do so. Have fun!
