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.

Are they similarly voiced with the DIs? I always test with white noise. If the sound of the noise is close, the voicing is close.

To my ears, the Enzo's and the DI's sounded quite different. For music, I definitely preferred the Double Impacts.


Next week, I will be trying some nice class D amplification with the Ulfberhts. I have some Wadia a340's on the way.

I should have know Eric has it right. The center basically sounds like the top half of the DIs, which is basically what they are. They aren't quite there yet, because they only have an hour on them, but they are going to work just fine with the current DIs.

@james_w514, I used to own EgglestonWorks Andra IIs. Very fine speakers. In fact, exceptional. I guess like everyone else, though, if I didn't like them enough to keep them I wouldn't be here right now.

That's not entirely true. 

I'm not the kind to get restless, always trading something in for something else, in love with the chase rather than the kill.

I suppose I'm looking for that speaker set that reminds me enough of headphones from top to bottom.

Once I got the Focal Utopia cans, I had reached the top of of what headphones can do. I want my speakers to get as close to evenness that the FUs got me, yet obliviously with the head, neck and chest connection of speakers. 

Tekton is pretty close in the running so far.
