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.

Bullitt,
i am using a Stratos Extreme with Jolida tube preamp that has some upgrades with the DIs with great results. I think you will like the Odyssey. I switch back and forth with Cayin tube amp with the Jolida still as the pre. Depending on my mood changes which I like best. They are both very very good!

@mofojo That sounds very good. Glad to hear that. He apparently is a big Tekton fan. He is doing quite a bit of customization to both the pre and power amp plus the full upgrade packages on both. He is also provisioning a third output from his Pre to integrate my sub. So I can put the Pre in an HT mode and it becomes passive to my HT amp while watching movies. If it all works as he says, it should be the best of both worlds. A 2-channel discrete system embedded in a 7.1 HT system.

Stfoth the answer is, sort-of. I am over with the Preamp included, but the original number was for the Power Amp, only. But Klaus does give better than advertised pricing if you call and go through your application/needs with him and buy a package deal. So my overall budget is intact because the if new preamp configuration works, I don't have to replace my Denon. I can keep the Denon for HT and that money went to the lesser cost Preamp and the more expensive power amp in the package. So basically, I'm still within my overall budget for the system. That clear as mud?
