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.

James, welcome to the thread.

And thanks for telling us about your system and what worked for you with the amps you have had on hand.

Love the pics on your Canuck Audiomart site. The DIs look sweet...what colour? Mine are soft grey.

You've got quite a collection of speakers and components.

Seeing the Totem Winds brought back memories. Good ones.

Wow! That is an impressive list of speakers.  Am I hearing you say the Tekton DI is an enjoyable as your wonderful ML15A speakers? If so, then the DIs are very, very special. I listened to the 15As recently and loved them.

James, you have gone through a few speakers. Would you want to have any of them back over the Did? Also, not many people have heard of the Neat Acoustic Speakers. How did you like them?

James, you are being modest not mentioning you great DI video on youtube.  It sounded good even over the speakers hooked up to my computer.

James - truly impressive line-up of speakers and amps you own/owned. I'm with Charles - you would really take the DIs over the ML ESL15A is that what you are saying? If so, that's a very impressive endorsement. I realize your comments may be coming from "sound memory" but I'm particularly interested in how the DIs would generally compare to the Totem Acoustics and Marten Heritage. I currently have Von Schweikert VR-7 HSE and I just can't pull the trigger on the DIs because I can't believe they would out perform my VR-7. Any input you may have would be much appreciated.  Thanks!
