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.

Disruptive products reviewed by a disruptive reviewer. Gotta luv it. Terry flies in the face of many reviewers that patently praise the big name companies with huge marketing budgets and won’t give the highly innovative and cost conscious little guys the time of day. That’s understandable as how do you explain to the big boys that spend beau coup bucks on advertising with your magazine that you rated the little guys $3000 speaker ( that spends nothing on advertising) equal to or better than their $20k speaker? Terry deserves kudos for honestly reviewing these "disruptive" products and for putting his money where his mouth is by purchasing them for his reference system.

I look forward to having a disruptive system including the DI’s, MZ2 and soon the Aric Audio Transend SET amp.

vitop, should I ever go the Lyngdorf route I'll take your suggestion! As intriguing as the Lyndorf is I just have to give the SET route a go first. I so love my tubes!
333Jeffrey:
Yes, your latest YouTube has a significantly more uniform frequency distribution and I can appreciate the Flecktones examples. They are my favorite jazz/indie/bluegrass group. Keep up the good work. The Flying Hippo tells the story on bass with Wooten's incredible playing. Still waiting for you to open up on the Model D...
On the subject of potentially disruptive products, I’m currently looking at power cord choices. I believe Mike Kay’s Blue model at $250 was recommended by highly regarded contributors here. Does anyone have experience with the Green model that comes in at $300?

@vitop  Good question! As for why the DI SE over the Ulfberth or Mini Ulf I don't have technical reasons. 

Other than @333jeffery 's feedback on his Ulfs and @teajay 's take on them there isn't much out there and nothing on the 'Minis' or the SEs.

The Ulfs would work in my current room, but would also overwhelm the aesthetics. As long as I listened at lower and moderate volumes they would be great, but I wouldn't be able to let them truly loose in this room. I didn't discuss the Ulf's with my wife because I just don't want to do that to the room for her sake. If we were ever to bring 2Ch into our formal family room then the Ulfs would be a perfect fit there.

As for why the SEs over the 'Minis', it came down to a known quantity with performance I'm already very satisfied with. Upgraded parts for speakers have generally correlated strongly with higher performance. The SEs also save me some cash and since I'm going to add a tubed amp into the mix, every bit of savings helps. 
@mac48025   Thanks for your favorites "BMW Phoenix Green, a bright metallic M3 color. Not for the faint of heart! The gloss Porsche Gray is very classy looking.....or the BMW Mineral Gray."

@vitop  Thanks for your suggestion on " Ferrari color for me, there is a gloss griggio (grey) color that I saw that I really liked"

@treebeard1  Thanks for you suggestion and the link to the photo  "There is a post on the Tekton FB page of a DI in a color called spanish tile.  The nicest I have seen yet."

@evolvist  Thanks for the versatile White and Lighting scheme suggestion! : )  I know my wife will be thrilled with a white/off white color scheme.

I'll be making a trip to see paint samples tomorrow and I will check out all of your recommendations.

Other paint color suggestions? ...Thanks.
