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 dust caps were pushed in on a few of the Pendragon woofers when my DI’s came in. They popped back out no problem. It looks like this can occur pretty easily in the packaging during shipping.

Sometimes a good strong vacuum like a shop vac can help just work carefully.

Hello all,

For the folks that need more bass you should ask Eric if he can build you a bigger speaker to use these woofers.

If it's packaging issue that caused the dust caps pushed in then it's unacceptable on the manufacturer's part, imo.

When I said it could happen pretty easily I meant if the product was mishandled by the shipping company. The box is not designed to push in the dust caps. Sadly this happens all too often and I could provide a long list of manufacturers this has occurred with from ATC to Martin Logan. When handled properly like the boxes indicate it shouldn’t be an issue but good luck getting the overworked shipping company employee to read the packaging. At one point over 50% of the speakers I would ship to Quebec were getting damaged in transit.
