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.

sbayne,

You bring up some very valid points in your last post that I agree with.
What size room do you have,and If I read your posts correctly it sounds like you are contemplating the DI's for you.

I ask this because I will be looking for a replacement set of speakers for my 2nd system in a much smaller room,12x16x9.

There was somebody mentioning that they have their DI's in a room this size with good results but I haven't tried mine in the smaller room yet.

Best,
Kenny.

I have a question as to the Ulf vs DI comparison now that you have had them for a while.

Is the soundstage or "3d" presence of the Ulf any different than the DI? Specifically openness, holographic or whatever other words come to mind when trying to describe it.

Vitop, the Ulf's are more holographic than the DI's. Some recordings jump out at you from them. One big difference between the two, is the amount of detail that the Ulf's reveal. They are detail monsters and hold nothing back. The Ulf's are still breaking in, but some of the differences are already clear between the two.

Tremendous. There is only one speaker that I heard that was head and shoulders above the DIs. And that includes the Sonus Faber, Wilsons, etc that go into 6 figures. And where the difference was, was the holographic 3d sound. I spoke to Eric and he assured me that the Ulf would be there.
But hell, we are talking about a $3000 set of speakers going up against speakers costing tens of thousands of dollars and holding it’s own. I would say a roaring success for the DIs regardless.
