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.

@mofojo Posting your question here because it’s a GREAT question and the answers and insights from others may be helpful not only to you but to those who may be considering one or the other.

wondering if you can elaborate on the difference between the DI and DISE. Are there any types of music or anything you think the DIs do as well or better. Rock and metal are a descent portion of my listening. If that was compromised with a more “grown up” speaker that would be disappointing.  Thanks

My answer hinges on the quality of the recordings (for the rock and metal) you listen to. If the quality is "typically average" (the norm with both genres and especially so for many older recordings) then I believe the DIs are the better choice. The SEs will lay bare, to a greater degree than the DIs, the quality of the recording.

For example, Tidal/Roon served up The Rolling Stones’ Saturday Club recordings the other day. Sound Quality was not good.

This is my take. Others who have moved from the DIs to the SEs may have found differently. I encourage them to post their findings.

I posted this video in another thread, but I think the point is very apropos regarding the question you are asking.

@danonano  Thanks for sharing these reviews. They are thorough and should be very helpful to those considering the Double Impacts. 
Eric said on FB that the mini Ulfberhts were coming very soon.  I can't wait to see them. ;-) 
Hey everybody,

The review on the Ulberht's by Ron Cook just went up on Stereo Times.  He came to the same conclusions concerning the speaker's performance  that I did and replaced his Wilson Audio Maxx 2's, I think they retailed right around 90K, to make them his new reference.
