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 Tom,
Now that is an encouraging initial listening report 😊. I believe that the addition of the Aric Audio 300b amplifier and matching preamplifier is going to  put you into deep sonic bliss orbit.

The Eminence Alphalite 6A 6" Neo Midrange Speaker/Driver is 6" not 6 1/2, how will you put that in the DI?

Thanks Charles,

I should have my 300b back the end of next week, hoping you'll have time afterwards to come have a listen. 

Im interested in whether the synergy between the 300B and matching linestage will outperform the 300B with the MZ2. The MZ2 will be hard to beat but it's a real win for me if Aric's linestage beats it out.

@backsigns. The Alphalite 6A is exactly the same dimension as the Alpha 6a in the DI. Exactly the same in terms of fit. It is a 6.5 inch diameter driver per the spec sheet. I have not used it as I am using the Beta 6a. I think it would sound nice based on the specs. I “think” it is being used in the SE version. I am not 100% sure. The SE marketing verbiage and pics certainly point right to it.

Tom,
No doubt that the MZ2 is a fine Line Stage. However it’s possible that Aric may create some synergy magic given he building them to match as a pair. You’ll find out soon😊.
