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.

Thanks, long Island ice teas are my muse this evening. 🤣

I’ll try a shorter distance apart. I always like my speakers fairly wide and thought I’d lose some soundstage keeping them too close together.

Never tried it though.

I find you one watt tube lovers to be the bravest bunch of purests. I’m not used to going that low in power. I have had issues with 13 watts not being enough for other, al beit less efficient speakers 🔊, but I’d consider it a viable option with these speakers. I think I could see a 2A3 amplifier in my future as a baby 🚼 step towards the goal reducing my wattage output for sonic purity.

Is this graphic enough for the sizes? And as far as I remember every speaker has dimensional information listed.

Hi Jonathan, 
We may be brothers from another mother as the saying goes 😊
I can definitely relate to your comments and amplifier progression/experience.

That right there is the graphic I was talking about on Erics site. I thought it was useful when I was deciding.

Anyone using the Double Impacts with a high powered solid state amp? I have seen almost all the posters here, driving these with tube amps.

@lmswjm, thank you for posting the pic on your system page. The loudspeaker looks good. Are you driving them with any existing amp/source, or are you waiting to buy new amps/sources?
