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.

Tim, 

Yes, I am. However, I need to stick to past statements I've made on the topic. There's so much to this one I'd love to talk about it but it's probably not necessary nor the right venue.

@bullitt5094  Are you therefore, watching movies outdoors in your Mustang....?    : )
Of course! Haven't you seen the movie "Bullitt"? It's all related. My car is a 2001 Bullitt edition mustang rendered after the car Steve McQueen drove in the movie. It's like living the movie.
And as far as mileage? Might as well have 100 people in it. A gallon of race fuel per 1/4 mile pass. Eric is a car freak too, BTW.

You guys are killing me.

Bike mileage--1821 (alright, I added the mountain bike)
DI thread posts--1854

Been almost 6 months now with the DI's.  What a great value.  Love them more than ever. 

As some of you may know, I have been enjoying the DI's very much with my Marantz Reference gear.  I've toyed with a tubed integrated--really not interested in separates.  I really struggle with the limited power of an SET vs something like the Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP.   I love firm control of the bass afforded by my SS gear and I do tend to prefer realistic volume levels appropriate to the music.  So I may tend to listen louder than others.  That little voice keeps asking if I'm missing out on a more spatial soundstage with a bit more organic goodness tubes might afford.  So what about the Primaluna or perhaps the LTA integrated in the works (any thoughts Lance)

@corelli , I think the new LTA integrated will be ready soon. It will be 10 watts and will have true balanced inputs, not transformer coupled balanced but a special "David Berning" designed tube circuit. I think Mark is working on an upgraded power supply for it. I want to get one to test for him. I'm pretty sure Mark has talked about this one already so I'm not letting the cat out of the bag.

I've only ever owned two Mustangs. A red 289 1965 and a lime-greenish 1973 Mach 1 fastback. Never have owned the big engine Ford cars. Sometimes I wish I had.
