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.

Hey facton,

Here's the answers to your questions:

1) I use MG silver ribbon IC's

2) I have had numerous preamps that use 6SN7 tubes, and have a large collection of NOS 6SN7, and none of them sound anything like the LTA Micro-ZOTL, so its the tubes plus the Berning ZOTL circuit.

@iamasif: "....but for now I want to use Def.Tech center channel which is 8-ohm, is there any harm in mix-match 4/8 ohm speaker."

To your concern above, not at all. You may run into some volume issues which I believe your XMC-1 can adjust so that L/R/C are matched in terms of volume output.

The larger issue, I think, would be significant sound quality or sound signature differences across two different brands of speakers and their specific implementation.

I've used different Centers than my L/R speakers in the past, sometimes with good results. Your ears will let you know. : )
