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.

I do not know about the SE bout i have the DI with the upgraded cardas copper post and the upgraded coil. I can tell you that they sound like whatever you feed them.I can easily hear any equipment change or cable changes very easily .

Would you guys think it'd be a waste to connect DI SEs directly to an av receiver? Or would using the avr pre outs to a power amp and then the DIs be a whole lot better?

Also, for HT setup, anyone tried the DI centers?

Not at all.  Depends on how far you want to push performance to meet your needs and preferences.

I started with running my DIs through a top of the line Denon AVR. I then moved up to a Vincent SV-237MK. While the Denon was good, the Vincent is in another league of listening pleasure.

I have been drooling over the DIs for years. Now I can finally afford them (barely) and everyone says, "get the MOABs". Very torn on what to do.

My room is 21’ wide, over 23’ deep, with 8 foot ceilings. With acoustic panels and bass traps. I won’t be able to audition them before buying, although I do already have a pair of Tekton Lore-S in a different room. I do really enjoy them.
They will not be run with a sub for 2 channel listening.
