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.

The grills for the DIs were finally delivered yesterday.

I'm with you @mac48025 The grills look very nice and streamlined, but I've become accustomed to the non-grill look...it is also much softer since my DIs are gray. The pure black looks strong in the room.

Wish I didn't have to mount the grills because of the budding and growing 3 and a half year old audio dude. He's been telling me what he likes and doesn't like. Beth Orton, not so much. London Grammar, Yes, though he asked if it was a guy singing (Hannah Reid has a deeper voice). Trilok Gurtu a Lot! Calls it spooky music. Caught him bopping to Bass Drum Bone! Fantastic. :)

I'm going to miss the array.

I'll check it out Craig. Btw, I recieved the Bernstein 80 cd collection you recommended......man, what a sweetly packaged set it is. It will take me months to go through the collection and I look forward to it. 

My 75 lb pit is a diva and thinks he's a lap dog too. How can one not love a loving dog in their lap?

Mac:

Make sure one of your first listens is to the Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue. This is easily the best recording of this standard -- by a long shot. Perfect for the NYP, Bernstein, and that pianist. If you're running a tube amp, let me know how the timbres sound.

And gosh, lpretiring, I’ve got a nice set of Bose 901s in the garage, hardly used and only 3 years young. Great holographic soundstage, not so much anything else...

Can you make you a really good deal.
