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.

Hello All,

The results are in,
I took my MZ2S over to a local friend who specializes in vintage gear and he has the proper test equipment.
He did a pwr output test into a "calibrated4 ohm dummy load" and we got 1.38 watts at 1% Thd,and that was with the volume control on the MZ2S at the 4 o'clock position.With the volume control all the way up we saw a soft clipping condition on the wave form on a very nice Oscilloscope that he has recently got.This test for pwr output was done at the Industry standard frequency of 1K.

I also got to pwr 2 different sets of vintage speakers that he has in his listening room,Jbl L-220 and Kplisch Cornwalls.
It was kinda cool and good but not great sound overall,I'm not saleing my DI's anytime soon.😁

Kenny.

What thread size and pitch are the threads for the speaker feet? I plan on buy some Herbie Gliders here soon.

I tried to search through this thread and could not find the specifics. I am sure they are there...I must have missed them.

Thanks!

@porscheracer : I'm using Herbie's Giant Threaded Stud Gliders.

1/4" - 20

I'm using the 1 inch length, but others have used 1.5 inches.

Thanks, Kenny. I had a feeling it was in excess of a Watt at 4ohms. At the 1W level, a 38% increase is significant. : )
