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.

Yikes!!!  You feel Tekton needs to add more models?

@csmgolf I'm sorry if I implied anything untowards to you. You're apt assessment of the Zu speakers as well as @charles1dad delicious reiteration simply means that you are definitely  family and one of us. I stand by my offer.  I'll gladly pay your return shipping bill if you don't keep the Tekton.  I'm that confident. 

LOL 😂

No problems. It was not my intention to stir anything up. I am about seeing the small guys succeed. It sounds as if Tekton will be there with Parasound according to KLH007. There are 4 hotels in the immediate vicinity of the show that are already sold out that weekend. I cannot think of a better way to get a large group of people that can afford the DI to hear them. Hit it out of the park at the show and business could take off even more than it already has (i.e. to the point of expanding production facilities and team). I appreciate the gesture, but the cost of return is not the biggest deterrent for me at this point. If I were to hear them and really like them, I would likely save up and go straight for the SE version. If you're gonna go, go big.

maybe an easier answer to your problem would be to pull the crossover and replace some of those nasty caps!  Suspect it might be a fun and easier project than what Bill did with his DI's.

I agree with @corelli. Eric’s tweeter array responds really well to cap upgrades. Add some correctly spec’d and installed Jupiter or Duelund caps to the crossover and you will be shocked by the excellent music you get. And no doubt, Bill really knows his stuff.
