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.

There are a lot of analog people here. I decided to digitize my vinyl. What can anyone recommend to clean them as I do this? I don't want to spend a lot of money because whatever I get won't get used again after the albums are all digitized.

vitop,

Look into the Spin clean record washer,
Very easy and quite effective but I did like a different cleaning solution and I used the disc doctors miracle record cleaner.

The spin clean comes with drying towels but I wasn't to crazy about using those and I would blow dry mine with filtered compressed air regulated down to 80 psi,I have my compressor in the garage and would have to do 1 record at a time.

For very dirty records I have used the Walker enzyme pre cleaner with good results and about 4yrs ago I bought  and modified a ultrasonic cleaning tank and that worked very good too.

I have recently gone all digital after all these years of being mostly analog and I probably in time will digitize some of my Lp's also.

vitop, Kenny's suggestions are spot on. If you don't want to DIY, search around your town for a company offering record cleaning service. We are lucky in the DC/Baltimore area to have Vinyl Revivors which offers every level of record cleaning. You might also do a TT tuneup, especially adjusting VTA, and listening to various heights before ripping your collection.

@Vitop - There is a guy here in town who is an absolute expert in transcribing vinly to digital. He has it down to a science. I could reach out to him and see if he'll pass on some information to you if you wish.

Well, My DIs should be here on Friday.
There are Ferrari Red. The wife is out of town this weekend
She doesn't even know they are coming .
I wonder if i can get these out of the boxes and setup by myself ?
I also am using Lyngdorf Room Correction.
My pre is actually a McIntosh MX151 with RoomPerfect.
I have Emotiva XPA-1 Gen2 amps . I just sold my Purist Audio Dominus Fluid speaker cables in order to purchase the DIs. My system is mostly Purist Audio cables.I also use JRiver with .wav files. I use a Musical Fidelity V-Link2 USB to SPDIF converter with Purist Ultimate USB cable from Pc to V-link2.
From V-link2  to the MX151, I am using the Purist Audio Dominus Luminist Digital cable . Analog outs of the Mx151 to the XPa-1s is also the Purist Audio Dominus XLR Fluid cables. For now my speaker cables are the Voodoo Audio  cable reference speaker cables. The Power cord on the Mx151 is a Purist Audio Dominus Rev C Fluid .
I am hopeful that this will all sound Really good .
I know one thing , the Lyngdorf Room Correction is the best that i have ever heard .....Hands Down !
I just thought i would list all of the gear to see if anyone else is using any of the same cabling or gear and get their opinions.
I have on standby a buddy to help me move them in the house or set them up , on Saturday if i need it .
Thanks to all who have posted .
This thread is very informative.
