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 all good points. I am however clearly hearing this speaker’s unique voice. It is what it is. Decide and tweak accordingly.

@evolvist Absolutely agree! Definitely a subjective thing. I’ve just noticed that compared to other systems I’ve played with, the difference in low frequency output between certain recordings is more noticeable with the DI’s.

I think most people are biased with their listening traits. They like certain characteristics and base their purchasing and research to reflect that.

I can safely say I usually lean toward a speaker that is a touch low end heavy and artificially or not, warms up most recordings. But in saying that, I love a rich, real midrange and shimmering detailed highs to go along with that.

I want my cake and I want to eat it too. :) But I have no problem swapping/matching gear to achieve this. It’s all part of the fun for me.  At this price range though, these are minor gripes.

Grannyring, many years ago I bought Norh 9, the shape of the speaker is a piece of art, The sound is ok, I decided to checked what kind of wire inside was use, this cause me to believe it’s a cheap wire, My friend replaced the old wire with siltech silver, the improvement was more than, I can I ask for , the Norh 9 did sound more highend, Then my friend Markr converted this speakers to Biwire.. the rest is history, modification is good, if you do it right.. Now back to DI as it is , it’s already good, Granny my mind tells me just get the original ...I need you wisdom and your advise here...thanks
