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.

paradisle, you probably have already seen it, but in case not there is a you tube of the DIs being driven by the Doge Prima Donna 88.  It sounds very nice, as does James w514 video with his ModWright.  I would love either amp.  I believe these are the only two DI you tube videos of them actually playing.
That is exactly why I wanted the gloss finish on my speakers. TBH, the speakers are nothing more than a rectangle. They are all about the sound. So, without any fancy gloss wood like some competitors have, the gloss finish was about the only way to dress them up, and honestly, they look pretty good in gloss from what I can tell in the photos. When I get mine, I will be better able to assess that. But the real money is in the sound and the Tektons sound good.

Has anyone played with the Zen amps?
Jetter, I have seen the videos being driven with the Prima Donna 88. The guy that recorded the video also wrote a nice review that is available under the reviews section of the Tekton Design website.

The reason I didn't go with the Prima Donna when I upgraded my Nova150 was the fact that I couldn't stretch my budget too much further at this time to get a good stand-alone DAC also.

I will say I am happy with the peachtree unit so far. Efficient or not, the DI's definitely sound better with more power, at least when it comes to class D amps. 

Vitop, in hindsight, I should have gone with a gloss finish. but it is a small thing at the end of the day as they do sound great.

I wonder how many people ended up getting the upgrade package with the speakers?
Here are some great value amps;

SS AMPS

- Job 225 - wonderful sounding
- Many Class D amps from companies like D Sonic & Nuprime - many great choices. Not for all, but no doubt they offer extreme value vs conventional amps just a few years ago.  
- Powered dacs like the Lyngdorf 2170 and Exogal Comet are particularly great values and amazing sounding. 
- Emotiva


TUBE

- Inspire by Dennis Had - must have very high efficiency speakers 
- Prima Luna 



I cancelled my Mini Ulf order as I felt things were not being done in a timely matter considering I received a damaged pair of Double Impacts over 2 months ago and have been waiting for a resolve ever since. IMO Tekton is making the best sounding product for the price right now. This was a matter of principle for me and nothing more.
