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 have high hopes for it. Both teajay and Mike at Audio Archon raved about it and Mike hooked me up with a good deal for one. I couldn't pass it up. 

RockytopHIGH, did you inhale? Just wait, the DI's will sound even better with more time on them.

The textures from the DI's are incredible to me. I have been an avid music listener all of my life. My first system was an Onkyo A-10, Gale speakers and a Technics turntable with an Ortofon MM. I got a loan which my father cosigned and that was it! I make fine hand made furniture for a living and I have always had a passion for music and sound. I don't have the big budget that some do so I have resigned myself to collecting one piece at a time. I liked what I was reading about BAT gear and found some good used stuff here on Agon. Then these speakers and I'll be damned if they really aren't the greatest things I have ever heard. I liked the Gallo's but they are a far cry from my non descript black boxes made by a guy who has been working just as hard at what he does as I do. I purchased art from another craftsman and that thrills me to no end and they are very very good speakers. So, thank you Victor Khomenko, Eric Alexander, Kenny Carpenter and the boys at AGON for your instructive comments that lead me down this path. I am forever grateful to have the wherewithal to listen to music as if I were front and center in Weil Hall with Yo Yo Ma, as I have been!

Congrats Greg.....always good to hear that someone is enjoying their music so passionately. Products made with passion tend to be instilled with and emote that same passion. Tell Yo Yo Ma I said hello :) 🔉

@mac48025  Congratulations on moving forward with Aric's KT120 amp. Looking forward to leaning how your CF DAC works out for you!!!

@rockytophigh  Congratulations on your BMW Marina Blue Double Impacts. The BMW B 40 Liquid Blue Metallic was my second choice....a Mercedes color took the flag.... oops. : )

@greg22lz   Great to hear your 'loving them' commentary!!! 

Nice to hear how those new to the DIs have been literally impacted by them.

We've been discussing other stuff on the thread of late so it's really great to have discussion about the speakers.
