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.

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.

333jeffrey,
I know your Ulfs may not be completely broken in. So far is it safe to say you prefer the sound of them to the DIs?

Mofojo, I definitely prefer the Ulf's over the DI's. The bass alone is a considerable improvement over the Double Impacts. Not only is there more of it, but it's very refined. The Ulf's also do fine detail and nuance that the DI's can't quite match.
Both are great speakers, but the Ulfberhts are on a whole different level.

I have a pair of Wilson Audio Duette 2's that I absolutely love. It is powered by a Raven Integrated Reflection MK2 amp which produces fantastic sound.  I was intrigued by this conversation and was going to buy the DI's for fun to compare to the Duette 2's.  But now with the Ulf's that is a different story.  At $12k I would have to sell my Duette's.  Obviously the size comparison is monumental.  If you have the experience, what high end speakers would you compare the Ulf's to.  Another reason I am considering the Uhf is that I have a ginormous room.  What speakers did you have before the Ulfs ( not counting the DI).  Is there anyway you could post a video to You Tube?
