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.

A room full of Audiophiles all agreed that my Tekton Design Enzo mains were lousy;
very dull, muttled, no detail, clarity. $500 Magnepans are so much better.

I believe eve it was Andrew Robinson that has given Tekton good reviews, I wonder if the speakers the reviewers get have the same components as what I got.

corelli,
I don't mean to bash your DIs, I've never heard them.  I can only tell you about my experience with the Enzo mains, surrounds, center and subs I had. 

Maybe Tekton Design has has decided to install better crossovers, drivers and brace cabinets since my experience with the Enzos.

Did you get your speakers with grills?  Eric never delivered on mine.

Take your butt out of here. Nothing constructive with your post, just being a weak troll. Bye!

I agree entirely.  BTW I messaged you back. Just give me a call.

Well Racer, I just invested in a complete HT setup with Eric, and certainly hope my experience does not mirror yours. I will say though that I in no way think that the DI speakers I heard were anything close to veiled or any of the other adjectives you describe. I believe what you say happened, but I can't connect the dots. I love electrostats and ribbons (I own a set of each). I think the Tektons are much more dynamic and the clarity is superb. I do not think they are as airy as my ribbons, but the mini Ulfs are supposed to partially bridge that gap. I can't say because I have not heard them. I HATE muddled/veiled speakers. I would never have invested in them if I thought they were veiled. I would never describe the sound I heard from the DIs as being veiled. I can't explain what happened in your situation.
