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.

Hi Cleeds, 
Aric clarified that level of gain was used for testing purposes and he doesn't use this level in his commercial products. I can’t think of a good reason for that much gain otherwise.

porscheracer,

Yes I agree that you can't go wrong with a Sachs preamp,probably will make a great match with your pioneer amp.

I have heard one of the Sachs preamps in a another system and it sounded and also looked very well made.
Be patient,I think it will be worth the wait.

Thank's to all that gave detailed info about preamp gain and VC tapers and overall matching component details.

In this Aric audio amp the higher gain 6sl7 tube draws less current from the amps pwr supply and lightens it's overall load vs a 6sn7.

When you have a set amp that has low pwr every little detail helps IMO.
