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.

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.
