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.

Well the key point is you know what you want. This is important as there are listeners who aren’t sure of what they ultimately want. Kenny I’d say that the chances of long term success and happiness with your current audio system are exceedingly high.

You trust your ears and this is a crucial point as this allows you to choose components and speakers based on the most important criteria, how do they sound reproducing music in my home? If you can genuinely say that this is the best I’ve achieved up to now then you’re in an  enviable position and that’s ideal.

There are a lot of very good choices of audio equipment available and we can’t own(or hear) them all. Once you’ve found that exceptional system synergy that yields what "you" determine is superb sound quality, stop right there and enjoy and appreciate what you have.

Hey guys. I know that I am really late posting here but I really wanted to say thanks. I had been looking at the Double Impacts for over a year and finally ordered them. I now have had them just over a month and have to say that they are amazing. I have only heard one set of speakers sound better but the whole setup cost 70,000. My chain was right now is a Denon usb 300 DAC, Shciit audio Magni uber pre, and Emotiva A-300. Im saving for the schiit audio Freya as my next pre. The sound that get out of these things is Huge. I dont know of any othe way to say it. I had Boston Acoustic VR 2 speakers for about 10 years before and have been shopping around for a long time for new ones. All I really knew was that I did not want a sub and I wanted to really jump up in performance. These fit the bill perfectly.

That's great sjwpwrpo (can I buy a vowel?)

Consider yourself just fashionably late to the party.  Glad the DI's are working out so well for you.  Once you get things settled in please share your  thoughts to help others like you who pondered and carefully gathered info before  jumping in.

Congrats sjwpwrpro.........glad to hear you're also enjoying all that the DI's offer. Huge sound is definitely something the DI's can portray, the fact that they are so detailed and sound great at low volumes really amazed me.

I'm really interested as to how the DI SE's compare to the DI's. Someone here ( my memory fails me yet again as to whom) with the DI's ordered the SE's and I look forward to their impressions. 

Corelli.....I'm tired just thinking about all those miles!

This thread...Wow. Just, wow. Talk about legs.

Any of you guys in Texas? I’ll bring a six pack, or a bottle of good Scotch. Some high quality H2O, whatever. I’d love to hear these.
(I owned Lores when they were first released and thought they were a great value, but these seem to be on a whole ’nother level!)
