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.

My wife says your Franks are "awesome" once she realized you have a total tube count was 6.  So you have my wife's total approval and she is convinced you have a great system (which you do).  Many of you other guys may be in trouble.

It was a Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP Charles.

teajay,

Could you estimate a 3db higher efficiency with the Ulf's vs the DI's or a actual volume knob difference between the 2 at the same perceived listening level with music you know well.

Hi Corelli,
I glad your wife approves and I believe that she’d enjoy the Frankensteins driving your Double Impacts. In addition to her  good taste no doubt she posses good ears as well 😊..

Hey David-ten,

I agree with what Kenny said about more drivers lowering the noise floor.  I would add by using much higher parts in the crossover, higher grade drivers, and an the heavier/thicker construction of the overall cabinet are contributing to the total transparency/clarity in the Ulf's performance.


@teajay   Thank you for answering my question and your explanation. Appreciate it!
