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.

cal3713,

I know in the past I have used and preferred the 8ohm taps from other amps with other than Tekton speakers with good results.

I have no experience with the franks and I haven't used a tube amp with my 4ohm DI's other than my Zotl40 and that's not a issue.
You may want to call Israel at Coincident and ask his opinion.

Charles may now too.

Vitop,

I love it but I had the same thought when we all first saw the first picture on Tekton's website.

That would bring the sensitivity up to the Khorn level but would sound much much better.

They would need 2 18 inch woofers and not 16inch though.

Sounds like the 1812 of Ulfberhts........you guys might be onto something here! I'll need to start building an auditorium. I say lets go all out with two 18" woofers, two 12", four 6" and four tweeter arrays. Sensitivity of 104 or so, sounds like a winner to me but I'll have to settle for the mini Ulfberhts........poor, poor me :)

The 18in drivers are being reserved for the 4 tweeter array Ulf Supra. And there will be 4 of them. To balance out the tweeter arrays.
