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.

Will anyone be doing a true  A/B  comparison between the SE DI's and the standard DI's using the same system!

To see what improvements have been made in the "Sound" department, not really worried about the cosmetic updates.


It's easy to jump to conclusions about a new model,  I've always found doing a  A/B comparison,  gives me a True understanding  of the differences.


IMO: In the Audiophile World products that are newer or updated  models sometimes are more "different" then better!


I'm sure someone is going to say the SE's are way  better than the standard DI's  without doing a side by side comparison. Really?

I also replaced the lamp on the Gold Lions (McIntosh C2500) - the sound is more detailed, lively - add a little sparkle ;)

I never cringe, but have been known to twitch at times 😬 I think one of the many things we've learned here is that there is no right or wrong component for everyone just whatever works for you. I find it very interesting the success people here are having with such a wide variety of electronics with the DI's......and other speakers. 

I too am looking forward to that comparison, sprocket75. Both teajay and Mike of Audio Archon have experience with the DI and will be able to discern the sonic differences between them and the SE's.

How many hours are needed to break the final speaker DI ? From my experience, after ten hours he improved significantly - relaxed sound. What you have your own experience?

kdude66 says 150, I might be approaching 100. They sounded good out of the box to me and I think they sound more liquid and relaxed now.
