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 csmgolf,
I can’t speak for anyone else on this thread but I don’t see any response to your posts that rise to the level of an attack. You post on an open forum and naturally some will reply to your comments. You expressed your thoughts and this generated feedback. Where are the attacks toward you? This is just normal forum back and forth dialogue on an acknowledged discussion site.

Calling it an attack was probably going to far. But there has been innuendo that I am sniping the company, too lazy to put the effort into audition the speaker in my own home, and that I am just being difficult. That is not the case. I just want an opportunity to hear them first. Zu Audio is a perfect example. Many people swear by them on this very site. They have a return policy also. Fortunately for me, I have heard them probably a half dozen times or so at shows. I have never once heard them sound good to me despite what others say about them. I am thankful for the opportunity to have heard them and to be able to rule them out because I was very interested in them. The audition of the Pendragons that I mentioned above was extended and at an owners home, not at a show. It was a couple of years ago. Good in some ways, but I heard some issues. That is why I want to hear the DI before I do anything.

Thanks, I did not see them on the exhibitor listing. I will check them out.

csmgolf,
Point made.  I agree that there are some speakers you might hear at a show and you know pretty quickly this is not the speaker for you.  In that case, shows can be effective at narrowing the field.  Now if you hear several you really like......well, that's where the home edition is critical for me.
Many owners of the DI/SE's find them full range, no sub needed.  With large scale works, I do not.  I use a pair of subs that really fill in from 20-30hz.  So take the 20hz spec with a grain of salt.  Many rooms will not achieve anything below 30hz.  But for many, that is irrelevant depending on musical preference.
