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.

They really take control of the 16 woofers in the Hornings!

snopro,

Very nice system with some outstanding gear.

I wonder if you could give us your thoughts on the direct comparison of your 2 fine amps in your system.

I used to own the pass labs Xp-10 and Xa30.8 but I haven't heard the Frank's.

Charles has shared his thoughts on the Frank's and his journey of getting them dialed in his system.

Enquiring ears would like to know.

Enjoy that music my friend,
Kenny.

Great looking system and room snopro! Bet it sounds even better than it looks.

 I loved the sound of Charles' Frankensteins in my system and I look forward to hearing his Coincident system. The Frankensteins are the amps I'm looking to add to my system but I'm fortunate enough to be able to borrow teajay's Consonance 2A3 amp to try out......the bar has been set quite high with the Frank's though as they're the best sounding amps I've ever heard.

Hey Everybody,

Last night I wrote my review on the Ulf's for hometheatereview.com and now my proof reader will clean it up before its submitted to my editor.  It was a pleasure to write it and its a joy to have Eric's brilliant creation producing music in my home.  

I still firmly stuck to my position that you need the right acoustic space (large with enough space from the front and side walls with a very high ceiling) for these magnificent music makers to breathe and live up to their ultimate level of performance. 

No doubt, my favorite combo on the DI's and now the Ulf's is the Micro-ZOTL and the Triode Lab 2A3 by far and I got in-house superlative gear to compare this pairing to which is mentioned in my review.

Hope, this review will go up on the website in the next 4 to 6 weeks.
