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.

whacky,

I use the standard gliders with great results.I have the 1 inch thread length,I can't see needing any longer when installed.

If the DI's where even bigger and heavier I probably would have bought the giant version.

I can't comment on the difference between the 2.

I've seen folks rtv "Hockey Pucks" to the bottoms of their speakers with good results also.Might be a option for you till you decide which one you want.Just a thought.

Best,

Kenny.

I use the standard on my 125 pound Acoustic Zen Crescendo speakers. Works great and all you need. I use the studded/threaded gliders. Perfect.

I tried the giant gliders on my floor standers but I liked the sound better when spiking through the carpet to the floor.  The bass was tighter with spikes...go figure.

For clarity my gliders are on hard wood, not carpet. They are also the threaded type that screw into your speakers....important!

Hope this helps.

Whacky: Am using the standard size on a very hard wood tile surface. If it was carpet, would probably have gone with the pointed feet -- but they come loose with vibration and would not provide the kind of stable security the the gliders do. Share your assessment of the cost of the larger gliders -- this seems high to me as well.
