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.

Mac,

Looks like you have some very good tubes coming your way should be a very good combo.I'm anxiously awaiting my MZ2,I already have plenty of excellent tubes to roll.

The MZ2 must have one heck of a glorious single watt.

Enjoy the music,

Kenny.

Teajay,

Thank You for the very well explained magic of the DI's midrange and high frequencies,You nailed it perfectly.

They easily rival any speaker I have ever owned or heard with all the qualities you listed,I'm just simply amazed every time I listen too them.

Kenny.

Understood and just having fun. I hope to someday hear these as I own a highly modified, and improved, set of AZ Crescendo speakers that I love.....but always open minded.

On paper his design sure looks promising and innovative!

I will also add that his innovation has and will continue to  impact the direction of many current and future speaker builders. Innovation is a wonderful thing for us all!

Hi Teajay,
I appreciate your comments regarding the design and concept of the Double Impacts. It didn’t go unnoticed when earlier in this thread you wrote that you prefer them to the Wilson Sasha and your own Lawrence Audio Cello speakers. This admission really does speak volumes.

This has me very curious about the Double Impact SE , same design but utilizing the excellent Scanspeak drivers and upgraded crossover parts. The DI is a very interesting new product that seems  to genuinely compete with speakers in the 20- 30K dollar price range. This is no small feat by any measure.

The icing on the cake is its ability to be successfully driven by a few high quality watts of power. This isn’t an easy task, this represents exceptionally good engineering and execution. Teajay you have own/heard/reviewed many highly regarded High End audio products. You deriving so much satisfaction and listening pleasure with these speakers and a low watt 2A3 (high quality) amplifier is quite significant given your background and deep exposure to many High End brands. This is a entirely different domain from your big Pass Labs amplifier based system. It appears that this current system has taken you to a higher level based on your comments. Fascinating.
