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.

@charles1dad and @grannyring

Thank you for your perspectives and thoughtful engagement on the topics previously discussed above. Singling both of you out since you don’t own the Double Impacts and yet contribute in such meaningful ways.

@almarg

Thank you for the technical and substance based contributions to this thread. I’m always learning from your posts.

And @ALLOFYOU!!! in the thread...

I’m grateful for all that is shared and discussed, and yes, even from those that offer other alternatives or points of disagreement.

I believe Bullitt is on the right track in wanting to focus his energy on his most recent purchase. As he stated Klaus offered the suggestion to experience all the changes the amp will offer throughout the break in period.
Along with that ride as Grannyring points out, much can be fine tuned with tweaks, and an almost endless assortment of sound altering options to enhance personal performance.

This hobby even with components of great value still comes at a sizable financial investment (at least in my world it does). He should be allowed the latitude to fully explore the possibilities of his new purchase.

I can’t tell if you’re being serious or trolling us? LOL

My general take on the Martin Logan (nice guy btw), is there's a coherence issue endemic in speakers trying mate woofers with panel speakers of whatever ilk.

I agree that this is an Awesome thread. Thanks for all the help and advice directed toward me as the noob at this level. My thought process is... first, keep an open mind and then evaluate all information as if the suggestion is the correct answer, even if it doesn't fit my biases. That is REALLY hard for me.

When I owned Martin Logans I had to get rid of them because my could always discern the discontinuity between the woofers and panel. It drove her bananas. I also knew it was there, but ignored it for a time since I did not want to admit it and take the financial lumps. 

Thanks Almarg for your thoughtful, enlightening remarks. You are a stellar assest to this place. Best, mikirob
