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 brotw, 
 My sentiments mirror David's, no doubt that your amplifier and speaker pairing sound exceptionally well.  Congratulations.

Thanks guys. I've got a NOS 6SU7GTY in the 6SL7 spot and Psvane 805 T/2's which made a nice improvement. Listening to The Bad Plus has me thinking of Gaia isolation footers and pucks to clear up that stand up bass and kick drum even more. Love those 48 watts for percussive music.

Thanks guys. The NOS 6SU7GTY in the 6SL7 spot and the Psvane 805's made a significant improvement. Some Gaia isolation footers and pucks ought to tighten up bass and kick drums. Percussive jazz like The Bad Plus really grooves with the extra power.

I just ordered the DI SE in a color called "Rosso Folgore" I saw it in the sample pics on his web site and it's beautiful. Karma said it could be 16 - 20 weeks. I'm OK with that, as long as I know what to expect.

l also just got the Linear tube Audio UltraLinear amp. So far it's the most incredible 20 watts I've ever heard. For those of you that used the Micro ZOTL 1 watt to power your DI's and liked the sound, it's like that but Sweeter top, tighter bass with a lot more power .

@brotw   Nice to see a mention of The Bad Plus. I enjoy their body of work. 

@lancelock   Great to hear that you are on board with the SEs. Should be a very sweet finish.
