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.

I'm not registered on HiFi engine,I used to be 5 or 6 yrs ago but I lost my password and I've never got another one yet.
So my memory isn't always that good with some things.😃

Thanks for the info!!

The M-22 has 23.8dB of gain. Really? Vidar has 27dB of gain. That makes sense based on how little I have to move the volume knob to match sound levels between the two amps.

The interesting thing is that Vidar, even with the preamp off, outputs a noticeable hum in the speakers. The M-22 has zero hum when the preamp is off. I figured the gain was the issue. But the gain difference is not large enough. 3.2dB less would be quieter...but not enough quieter to eliminate the hum. I can only speculate that Vidar has an issue that the M-22 does not.
Oh, I have a paper and PDF copy of the service manual. I've been trying to locate the user manual. No luck....
I looked up the math so now I know how to calculate amp gain. All you need to know is watts, load resistance, and input sensitivity. Two formulas to solve and you are all done! Thanks!

Vitop, we are OK. Living a new community has it's advantages in drainage design. Plus the HT is on the second floor if things really get bad. The Tektons will be safe! LOL.
I exchanged emails with Evolvist and he is fine too. Glad you're OK.
