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.

Bullitt 5094,
I am in total agreement with your comment on the LTA Zotl Tube amps. Recently I purchased a Decware ZBIT XLR balanced to RCA transformer to determine if the balanced out on my dac would bring an enhancement to the table using my Zotl10 2. I am listening to the RCA connected to the direct in circuit right now and must say it is quite astonishing! I was planning to purchase the Lyndorf but the decision is delayed for now due to the startling improvement. If or when you decide to add the LTA amp you may want to listen using the ZBIT. IMO it is well worth the effort.

@powerglide, if you’re thinking about a purchase and you like the ZOTL10, you might want to audition a 20 watt UltraLinear. This amp is a David Berning master piece. Production models should be available any day now.

Lancelock,
I have and will continue to seriously consider that, especially when two other  listeners have confirmed the same opinion of the UltraLinear. Your experience speaks loud and clear.

Hello Gentlemen,

The Stereo Times review on the DI's just went up with Clement Perry and our own dear Gon brother Micheal Wright coming to the conclusion that this speaker is an absolute "killer" based on its sonic performance.  Clement made it product of the year, and Mike's part of the review is fascinating with his experience of comparing the DI's to his reference Wilson Sasha speakers.  Great writing on both their parts and another set of ear's opening up to the DI's great performance and mind blowing cost to performance ratio.  Well done!
