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.

@craigl59  It wasn't by plan. Waltersalas broke the 5K barrier and the start of page 101 and duly deserves the credit. 
Charles. Yes, all in good fun. I obviously will do anything to score a tasty meal. 😊
I have not posted or even read this thread in a long time. I am glad to see it survived that period of strong "negative Nancy-ism". It sure is interesting to see the new products from Tekton and how they are being received.

Anyway, I am now using the following chain:

Roon (sonicTransporter i5)
PS Audio DirectStream w/Bridge II (Ethernet input)
Don Sachs Model 2 6SN7-based line stage (balanced input)
Don Sachs Kootenay 120 KT88 tube amp (65 watts per channel)

This setup sounds absolutely stunning with the upgraded Double Impact speakers. I get incredible detail without any digital harshness and the soundstage has width, height, and depth. The bass response is phenomenal with this amp. It is much stronger than the Pioneer M-22 Class A solid state amp I was using but is tighter and more defined. I am still VERY happy with my speakers!!

Those Encore speakers sure are interesting though!

I'm the local audiophile that heard the Encore's at Jonathan's home on Friday evening.  The Nord was spectacular on the Kodo drums, but the Diavolo was like hearing live music in a great sounding venue!  I heard the Elrog 300b's and we discussed that the Emission Labs would have a little more impact.  So my vote is that Jonathan does not make any major changes.  Switching to other tubes you have on hand does not seem like a major change to the system.  I think Jonathan has arrived at his destination. Based on his priorities, I do not see how it can get better, or more to his liking!
@mlg Thanks for the kind words.  I like the way you think. I enjoyed having you over. It's great meeting enthusiastic audiophiles to gab a mile a minute with and also to listen to some tunes!  I look forward to seeing you Thursday to return the favor.
