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.

Mike,
What has been upgraded in the DI? It boggles my mind that Eric could improve upon it.....and so soon. There might be upgraded DI's in my future with my current DI's moved to my home theater system. The new DI's driven by the ZOTL 40 and my current ones driven by a SS amp in my home theater system. A win/win!

Can anyone provide what the difference is between the upgraded DI and the "plain" DI and an estimate of the price differential?

Thanks

the standard upgrade is the better crossover parts and internal wiring. That is $300 extra. I too am curious if there is something over and above this. When I talked with Eric this is the only upgrade he was offering.

Binding posts might be upgraded, and even better crossover caps &  coils than the standard "upgraded" package, structural integrity/bracing, it would be enlightening to actually find out about the upgrade choices.

Hello klh007 & Co -

From talking with Eric at Tekton, the items you mentioned are what I believe to be the "Upgraded" package (also premium paint).  Eric is still working on this, so waiting to hear the changes as well as the pricing.  We will keep everyone in the loop when we have the answers.

Cheers!
