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 have a DS and a DS junior which I find to be much better sounding then my Yggdrasil was,I tried one just to see what all the fuss was about.

I ran the yggy in my 2nd system for more than 500 hrs so I did give it a honest shot.

The Yggy and the DS are both good sounding DAC’s; however, the topology is different for both. With different rooms, different systems and different EARS, people will assess the sound differently. We all hear differently, and even if both are compared in the same system, some will prefer one over the other.

Musikmann,
Agree with your comment and for certain Kenny knows that as well. Emphasis on the chip type or R2R ladder architecture can be overstated. I/V conversion, analog stage design and power supply quality are as important (if not perhaps even more so ). I’ve heard very good multi chip/R2R and also Delta Sigma topologies.
