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.

You demonstrate wisdom in your writing's that I enjoy reading from you. Sometimes we forget that what we hear is subjective at best, and regardless of how much a component costs, someone would always prefer something of a lesser value based on sound alone.  We all hear differently.  Tekton is making dreams come through for some of us who want high-end sound for far less.  BRAVO Tekton!!

@aolprodj Thank you for the end game summation statement! Perfect!

Thank you also for posting the photos of the Double Impact SEs at Ezra’s home. They look just a bit wider than the DIs; Are they? Any other differences that you picked up on?

@audioarchon Mike, do you have specs to share? Thanks.

I believe your summation was very succinct and en pointe! If I may add, since music- by it's very nature, is about conveying emotion, it would make sense that very feeling would carry over into our affinity towards whatever equipment helped get us there :-)

It looks like my DI’s will be up for sale soon. As soon as I can get my hands on the DI SE’s that is.

I hope Eric will be at the Capital Audiofest with those.
