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.

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,.
It’s pretty exciting to read so many positive experiences with the DI and as a bargain hunter in all aspects ofife, it’s price has me considering a pair.

My main challenge is room depth, I have plenty of volume , but speaker placement would have to be 6" from the front wall. Normally I wouldn’t consider a rear ported speaker ( and wish a front ported model was available), but most of the photos I see in the Tekton gallery, speakers are being shoved right up against the front wall. It seems this would diminish sound quality and am wondering if anyone can  share their thoughts on my depth of space limitations.

cheers!
@lmswjm Thanks for your recommendation. I will check his harpsichord recording out.

I listen to a lot of solo string performances, and stringed instruments are rendered gloriously as well.
@yakbob You landed on the thread at a good time : )

That is, if you want feedback on close placement to the wall!

Page 40 and 41 of the thread have some vigourous coverage of this very topic.
Mahan Esfahani is crazy good.  I love the harpsichord more than a piano.  Great suggestion, imsjm! 

Eric Caldwell, buy the Double Impacts, room dimensions be damned! I sent you a private message. Call me 919-904-5657!
