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.

Well, here's the rub:

1.) I have no business telling a business how to conduct their business. 

2.) Tekton has never done me wrong. 

3.) If you strip everything away from a man - everything, including the clothes on his back - all he has is his word and his ability to back up those words. 

That's all I know at this moment.

porscheracer,

The deal with Mark at Reno hifi would be a good one taking in consideration the trial period and 20% off.It would be a demo unit and probably have some time on it.These amps really need about 500 hrs to show you their true sound.

With this amp I can easily get 100db at my listening position 10ft away and still have plenty of headroom and that is playing full orchestra music.

One thing to take into consideration is the first watt F7 has lwr gain then most SS amps but you would be fine using your Freya that has 14db gain with the active tube stage,the passive probably wouldn't work up to the volume levels you listen at meaning you would simply run out of volume.You also would probably want better sounding tubes in the Freya than stock,I don't know if you use the tube stage of the Freya with your Vidar amp.

I use the LTA MZ2S which is 4db lwr gain then the Freya would provide and I have no issues driving either First watt amps that I have.The volume control of my preamp would be at the 1oclock position for the volume level mentioned "100db"at 10ft to give you an idea what I'm talking about.

I personally think you would like the sound qualities of the F7,but the only way for you to find out would be to try one for yourself.

Kenny.
