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.

Darn, you gave it away too soon!

Yes, I have listened to earlier iterations of J's amplifiers. They had a very lovely, melt into the couch, sound. But only when the speakers ports were stuffed with audophile grade socks!

Fetguy,

You probably should read a thread more throughly before just jumping in with bashing comments.

But since others have asked about SS amps with the DI's here is a list of ones I own and have used.

Diy nos Sony Vfet first watt Sit
First watt F7
Modwright Kwa-100se
Accuphase p-300
Diy Hypex nc-400
Bel Canto Ref600m
Red Dragon S-500

Borrowed amps,
Pass Labs Xa-30.8
First watt F3
First watt J2

All paired with the LTA MZ2S as the preamp.

Kenny.

Which is your favorite with the DI's?

And all razzing aside, I was one of the factors for Jcarcopo to buy the DI's. The design looked like a winner. And, yes, I fully expect them to sound just fine with good SS.

(They were Von Schweikert VR2s) The bespoke socks were needed in lieu of the imaginary hybrid labyrinth transmission line that Albert had seemingly forgot to include with the speaker, but heavily promoted the speakers as possessing.  

I had flippity, floppity, bass before the socks, but stuffing the ports helped a lot.  They were black dress socks, I recommend them for their camouflage effect.
