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.

So, I've been joyfully researching and mulling the possibilities (of Tekton and other speakers - mostly Vandersteen) for a few weeks - you know how it goes. I have an important question with respect to how this plays out... room size... I have only a small room in which to place my speakers: 12' by 14.5'. I have a couch at one end, almost against the window, and then the stereo sits at the other. My RP280's with two 8" woofers blend well, but they have only operated as a fill-in to this point. The tweeters are just too glaring, although I may be able to dampen. Still, I'm thinking about Tekton, thinking about whether the DI's could operate well in my room... I'm not hearing enough about the Electron's. In fact, I'm a little concerned that they are mostly a compromise speaker, developed to offset the WAF. The latter is the reasoning provided by Tekton's front-end person, when I inquired. Another person cautioned me strongly against going Tekton because of his experience with the Electron. Clearly. he hasn't heard the DI, which so many praise. Nevertheless, his claim was that the Electron did not come across as effectively integrated, that each "way" seemed a bit too independent, that the speaker lacked musicality for the aforementioned effect. Back to the RP280's for a minute: they really have a decent bottom end, so I don't want to lose that and I don't want to sub-it-up, which is absolutely not needed in my 12' by 14.5' space, given my musical preferences, which are strongly acoustically oriented. I love the plucking, hammering, thumping, trilling, vocalics, double-bassiness that the Klipsch have been able to reveal, but I need a much softened, or removed glare. And then enters this DI concept, reading as such a marvelous thing. A serious full-range event is my goal and intention. 

Thank you, in advance. 
@Listening99 The DIs are very coherent and well integrated IMHO.  People have put them in rooms smaller than yours.  They have no glare or harshness in mids or highs. They will provide ample bass for your room size.  I can't speak to the Electrons, but my DIs and Encores are both very coherent and well integrated. I'd actually be surprised if the Electrons were incoherent.

If you mainly listen to acpustic I think you would be in for a treat with the tektons. The midrange tweeter array is very fast and you will hear guitar plucks very distinctly.

My dedicated listening room is 12.5 x 15.5
About the time that the Electrons were released I bought them while being torn between them and the D.I.'s. Near the end of my 60 day trial I was able to upgrade to the D.I.'s (Thanks Eric!) so I've lived with both models.
First the D.I.'s can absolutely work great in your room size. However, careful room and system set up is necessary to really achieve outstanding results. I know many speakers need the whole package to perform and IMHO the Tektons fit into this category.
The Electrons are much friendlier size wise and weight wise obviously especially if your also an older audiophile like me.
One reason I changed models was for the higher efficiency but also if memory serves was the Electrons seemed to be limited on a 3 dimensional level. This critique needs to be taken with a grain of salt being that the Electrons were a recent release which I'm sure Eric tweaked somewhere in the last couple of years. With all that having been said I loved the D.I.'s from the beginning, they are a well proven model enjoyed by many including myself to this day.

I do mainly listen to acoustic music. Take Cassandra Wilson's "New Moon Daughter" and you have a template for my musical path in recent months. Mainly, I go with unplugged fare, and I love Jazz. Classical has been big for me, but not so much in recent years. I could see revisiting some favorite chamber works, like the 4th Brandenberg, or the Goldberg variations. I'm interested to see how piano plays, out of the DI's. Perhaps my greatest desire is to experience an enthusiastic double-bass, in a simple configuration with other instruments, with the DI's. 

What do you all think about the contrast between the DI and the DI SE? Are there fresh conclusions on how they contrast? Is the extra $ worth it? 

Very happy to hear some experiences indicating a fit for my 12' by 14.5 room. Is there a particular positioning concept that would work best for this space?
