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.

@evolvist  Great to hear that your DIs have shipped!!!  You have been EXTREMELY patient. Also great that you kept on it vs backing down and going with another choice. Not easy when one is without speakers for such a long time.

evolvist,

Congrat's on bringing in some DI's to use till the mini's are perfected and be sure and give us your thoughts about them.

Best of luck to you in your journey,

Kenny.

Charles,
I don't disagree with you.  I know implementation is they key.  Personally, I have a preference for R2R DAC's.  One DAC I am dying to hear is the DENAFRIPS Terminator DAC. It is R2R architecture and looks like it's very well made. So far, I have read nothing but positive on DENAFRIPS DAC's.

I owned the Yggy before getting the Perfectwave and I will echo what many have stated.....they are both excellent DAC's. I can only imagine that the DS DAC takes things to another level. I would have been very happy sticking with my Perfectwave DAC but after listening to the Concert Fidelity there's no going back for me. Only after experiencing the Concert Fidelity would I consider the Perfectwave to have a slight harsh edge. I didn't even know it was there until I heard music without it. If there's one thing my audio journey has taught me is to follow my ears and only through acually listening to my music through different gear will I obtain the musical bliss I desire. Thankfully there are many here that have the same listening preferences as I that have been very helpful in steering me towards products that have worked wonders for me.
