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, I should be busy working on fulfilling orders this morning but thought I'd take a quick peek to see how this thread is evolving. Wow! There is so much going on here in real-time. Michael with the DI's... Teajay evaluating the ULF's... Clement Perry with his upgraded DI's, etc... Amazing!

I'm truly humbled and simply want to say how grateful I am! Thank you!

Everyone on my inside circle knows I simply want to create. I simply feel inspired and driven to simply create music. As a professional musician (a drummer) I've had the lifelong goal of improving the quality of audio and wanting to push the envelope.

Happy listening to all!

Sincerely,

Eric Alexander - audio designer

@grannyring - It shouldn't be a problem. I once purchased a Chord DAVE in the Czech Republic and took it right on and off the plane. I had to jump through few hoops at customs, but it wasn't a big deal. 

@lmswjm - I hope those are Vitop's mini-Ulfs. If not, I hope they are mine since I'm not asking for high-gloss. :-)

@Eric,

So excited for you and your success. I’ve read other Tekton threads on hear (sic) and the Tekton Double Impacts, et al, are indeed very disruptive and causing consternation in many audiophiles who are convinced their speakers have to be better because they spent a fortune on them and begrudgingly can’t accept that the Double Impacts are as good or even better sounding in many respects.

This was meant to be comical, if you take it the wrong way, well I wouldn’t cry about it if I was you. Lol 😂

It must be your speakers that are being painted. Mine have already been painted. Hopefully that means yours are getting close!
