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.

Charles,

I glad you guys got together and got to listen to some different gear paired together I beat that was quite enjoyable for both you guys.

Would you say that the DI's are really good at the disappearing thing and just get out of the way of the music.

I wander about the SE version as well,I guess a little more time will tell.

Kenny,

Yes, it was a very enjoyable time and I look forward to doing it again. Charles is very perceptive ( and a nice guy to boot) and I learned quite a bit about my system and how to make it even better. I'm thinking my PS Audio Perfectwaves and MZ2 with the Frank's and hopefully the DI SE's will give me a system that I'll enjoy for many years. 

Since Charles got me to play some Art Pepper and Miles Davis I haven't been able to stop listening to it. It's been in my collection for months but I never got around to listening to it. Love it! The best compliment I can give to the MZ2 is that even though I now know what I'm missing without having the Frank's the music is still very enjoyable to me. Normally once I hear what I've been missing I cant enjoy listening until I have it. 

I'll be looking forward to your assessment of your Aric 2A3 amp. It could be an amp to tide me over until I can get the Frank's.

Kenny,
In Tom's room the Double Impacts can provide a good sound stage rendition and avoid the sound emanating from the face of the speaker effect. This ability varied with the recording as one would expect. 

Tom, your system did a commendable job of distinguishing the tone of Art Pepper's and Cannonball Adderley's  (Miles CD) alto saxophones.  These two musicians play the same instrument with clearly different sound/voices.

Very good information and assessment of some fine gear.

Art pepper and Lee Morgan are my 2 favorites for a very long time.

mac,
Sounds like you now know without any doubts the sonics that you want to get and I wish you the best of luck to obtain this nice gear as your budget allows.

I can definitely say for me that is so nice to find my way back too that wonderfull Dht set sound,these kind of amps convey such purity,natural tone and timbre and are just so darn engaging.

I could say when I turn my Set on my left brain turns off.😃

Enjoy that music brothers,

Kenny.
