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.

Thanks Vitop. I'd be happy to drive from Austin to hear the DIs, but I don't want to set up an appointment when I have no intention to purchase.
Maybe I'll stumble upon another opportunity.

You guys enjoy your speaks!!

I just bought the upgraded DIs, looking forward to getting them (and the grilles 6 months after that!) and finding out what all the fuss is about. Thanks to everybody sharing their input on this thread, y'all helped make a sale and get me into something fun. Thanks!

Will be running them with the Outlaw RR2160 stereo receiver for the time being. Over time I may get sucked in deeper and start looking into tube amps and the like.

Congratulations, mdlofnwhr.

I had the RR2150 a long long time ago and it was a really nice stereo receiver...I imagine the 2160 has come a long way from then/there also.

Looking forward to hearing how it all works out!

Congrats middleofnowhere,

Im quite sure you won't be disappointed. I bought the Outlaw processor last fall and still haven't used it yet as I haven't bought speakers for the theater room yet. I'm having too much fun and spending too much money on my two channel system! 

Enjoy and im looking forward to your impressions of the DI's.

middle of nowhere,

Congrats on your purchase of DI's,
Let us know how you like them after you get some time on them.

I quess you can pwr them with a receiver,But I have tried lots of other gear with them and you will be just fine.

Luckily I didn't want grills with mine but I've heard they may take awhile hopefully not 6 months.

Best of luck to you,
Kenny.
