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 more time I spend listening to my new (old) dual-mono Pioneer M-22, the more I love it. 30 amps of pure Class A power is quite wonderful with the DI speakers. It is an absolutely better sound that what I got with the Schiit Audio Vidar amp.

Fritz Reiner's "Scheherazade" sounds sublime!

Congrats Corelli, please share your results when your new toy comes in. 

Youre so so right about the DI affording us so many amp options. I'm contemplating getting the Benchmark ABH2 along with the Triode Labs 2A3 SET to switch back and forth as my mood dictates. Eventually I could have one system consisting of the MZ2, 2A3 and DI SE's and the other with a good home theater processor/pre, the Benchmark ABH2 and the DI's. I could live with that!

Good to hear you're enjoying your DI's so much porscheracer. That Pioneer M-22 looks like a nice amp. How hot does it run?

Lance,

Very nice to read about that old amp,
I remember those from the mid 80's and they were quite popular with the high end crowd.I couldn't afford one though and I would imagine that nowadays most of them are in Asia somewhere.

porscheracer,

I'm glad you are liking that pioneer and I don't doubt it sounds better than your Vidar and you have found out for yourself that 30watts is huge pwr with a speaker like the DI's.I'm glad you found one that had been updated and ready to go.

Kenny.
