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.

They look really good,top quality paint job.I bought black metallic gloss, probably a Ferrari color.
They have very good quality woodwork with solid construction and looks like the 6inch mids and tweeter array are in there own chamber and the 2 woofers have the volume of the majority of the cabinet.
I just now got them hooked up in my main system moving my Zu Defs too my 2nd system.Pretty late,wife went to bed so I will play with them tomorrow.

I'm lucky I have a really good wife that supports my passions,and she really likes the looks of them and they go well with the other decor of the room,can't beat that.She said if they sound as good as they look we will have a winner.

I'm going too move my pair of subs back in,didn't need them with the defs.I'm not working tomorrow can't hardly wait,51 yr old kid with a new toy.

Kenny.

@kdude66 :  Kenny, That's terrific! Happy that you are happy.

It's great that your wife is supportive and engaged with your audio passion.

I used to own the Soul Superflys with the upgrades...miss them at times.

Read your post from the Electron thread also. Looks like you are already quite happy with the DIs. Have fun tomorrow!

All quiet on the Double Impact front?

Listening, not Forum-ing....?

Finally, finally have the USB feed more optimized. Running Roon via a Small Green Computer sonicTransporter AP as core/server. Feeds a Sonore microRendu with upgraded cabling, and powered by an UltraCap LPS-1. The LPS-1 and sT are powered by an HD-Plex.

Have the Schiit Yggdrasil - HeadAmp - Moon 330A combo back in rotation. I prefer this chain's slight edge in delicacy, ease, and insight into the music over the other systems. This system gives-up a bit in the lower frequencies and in weight/fullness vs the SST amp. I will cycle back to DAC/amp comparisons once I get the system dialed in more with the power side of the chain and with room treatment.
