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.

Electra-Print trannys are great! Can get pricy. Perhaps you can find James transformers on EBay or elsewhere? They no longer make them, but they can be found. They are wonderful for the money.
Bill, 
Good transformer suggestions.  There are excellent Japanese choices available but they are quite costly.  The Frankenstein uses Japanese double C core transformers and no question that they're excellent quality.  No question either that they're the most expensive part in that amplifier as well.

Gentlemen,

Thank's for all the good input,
Aric definitely builds everything point to point with no circuit boards used at all.
He has never built a 2a3 amp so we are talking about different options but still looking at a 2 k budget.

I told him I definitely want a good strong pwr supply and SS rectified and would greatly prefer a 6sn7 for each side.I'm not sure which output transformers we may use yet but will have to be within the allotted budget.He also always uses good ceramic tube sockets and will also have adjustable feedback that may come in handy.

He is also building a set amp making 25 watts per channel that uses the Kt-150 tube and that might be a option for folks that need more pwr.
The James transformers,which I know are very good but are out of production are getting very pricey so Electra print may be a better option vs the hammonds.For this build I don't see any C core transformers that will meet budget either and I don't know yet what the primary Impedance of the output transformers will need to be.
I do know that I want speaker outputs that have both 4 ohm and 8 ohm and would generally use the 4 ohm with the DI's.

I tried the 8ohm taps from both of my tube amps and I got weaker bass but had higher Spl before soft clipping occurred and the 4 ohm taps just sounds much better.

Kenny,
I have complete confidence that you will sort out all of the numerous details and have a terrific custom amplifier built that will mate superbly to the Double Impacts.

You raised the issue of 4 ohm versus the 8 ohm tap for driving these speakers. This is my only reservation regarding my amplifier, the lack of 4 ohm speaker taps. Not sure how much of a compromise this may be. If it sounds good with the 8 ohm taps then I’d be convinced that the current Frankenstein models which have 4 ohm taps would be even better sounding with the Double Impacts. . We shall see shortly.
