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.

The challenges of piano reproduction came up yesterday. Eric mentioned he discussed this with Terry recently. I was just going through a string of different recordings of Bach’s Goldberg Variations, the vast majority of which are piano performances. I stumbled upon Mahan Esfahani’s award winning harpsichord recording of that work. It left me slack-jawed. One of the most powerful recordings I have heard on the DI’s. It simply filled the room with one of the most immersive, dynamic sounds I have heard. It was on a level clearly above any of the piano recordings that I demo’d.

Ok stop it with this crap! All these over the top accolades and better than $28,000 speakers hype. I can no longer take it!  This stuff is nuts, just nuts, for a $3000 speaker. No doubt you are all part of a Tekton conspiracy to take over the Audio world. STOP IT! 

You've got me worked up into a frenzy and I must try a set now. This is really the last thing I want to do as I am most content with my rig. However, I am blessed, perhaps cursed, with a strong dose of curiosity in life.

imswjm,

I know what you mean I've listened to vinyl of this Mahan Esfahani’s
recording for many yrs.I have recently made the change to all digital and you can find this recording on Tidal for those that use it.

Congrats my friend on your purchase of the Ulf's They might be the last speaker you will ever need.Now the wait begins but it sounds like you have a good plan in place and can be patient.

Kenny, you may be right. I don’t think they would let me carry it on however. May have to check it? Even then I think security would want a closer look once it is viewed on their scanners? Not sure,.
