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.

David,

I do believe I have found my "Holy Grail" in preamp,which is the MZ2S.For pwr amps I'm torn between the Zotl 40 and the First watt sit2.

They both are that good giving a slightly different flavor and sonic presentation.

The F7 is good but not really that great.

More evaluation needed overall.

I will be testing the MZ2S on Friday for It's true pwr output and distortion specs.

Enquiring minds need to know.Lol.

Kenny,
When you changed out your woofers do you recall the exact mods you made to the crossover as far as component values of resistors, caps, etc.
Thanks

Enquiring minds do want to know, no argument there. It will be interesting to see your testing results Kenny.  It was a pleasure speaking with you on the phone yesterday.  You have a wealth of experience and knowledge my friend. You have owned and heard an array of excellent power amplifiers.

Hi Al,
Great back check to the 7-17 post.

I'm sure I fit into the don't utilize 105db peaks at my 6' seating positions. It sure would have been easier with all of this if I would have just choosen the D.I.'s. instead of the Electrons.

Several risks for me with this approach. But now I have a much clearer view of what's ahead.

Thanks again to Almarg and Charles 1 dad, two gentlemen who devote they're time to the benefit of others.

LP,

I read through today's posts and haven't had the time to answer any of your questions till now,but Al and Charles gave you the facts and their opinions that are spot on.

Some of the guys build the "Truth" preamp with 6 to 10 db's of gain and with or without a buffer transformer are you sure that yours has no gain.Your explanation of how your volume knob operates I do find kinda strange or different.

But I can say that overall you will have good sound and should have plenty of volume to enjoy the music that you like.

Kenny.
