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.

Hi Walter,

I'm happy for you! The Ulysses is indeed formidable, yes you're in store for much fun.

Thanks, guys. I think it will be an interesting contrast. I certainly agree that the Daedalus are special, and I could (and may) certainly live with them the rest of my days.

On the other hand, I am intrigued by the Double Impacts and feel that it is worth the gamble to give them a shot. Speaker preference, like most things in audio, is enormously subjective, so who knows how this might come out? One thing for sure, if the DI speakers are not as musical and enjoyable as the Ulysses, I will not be keeping them. But I am willing to take the gamble and find out.

Looking forward to your impressions Walter. Daedalus has been a speaker I've always admired and if they sound half as good as they look they must be special indeed. I thought I had my "forever" speakers with the Legacy Audio Focus SE's but after comparing them with the DI's for three weeks I sold them. They were exceptionally nice speakers but my preference was with the DI's. Seeing how they stack up to the Daedalus will be very interesting indeed.
