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.

Yes me 2,

I have absolutely no desire for the upgrades and finding the “perfect” synergy with the pairing of the 2170 and room perfect means I will step off the merry go round and just enjoy the music.

Out of curiosity, when you say you suspect you may not be getting realistic bass response, are you referring to output or clarity or...?
Yeah, I mean, I'm entering into the world of speculation, because I haven't experienced it yet, but it makes sense, that getting proper stands for the speaker should give better bass clarity. Depending on how the room is set up - the geometry and lack or presence of of room treatment - might bring out the bass a bit more with that clarity, or maybe not. Again, this is speculative on my part.

I guess I'm saying that clarity should trump volume in the older recordings, because perhaps with more clarity that covers more sins vs. amplitude and muddiness.

I have absolutely no desire for the upgrades and finding the “perfect” synergy with the pairing of the 2170 and room perfect means I will step off the merry go round and just enjoy the music.

That's fantastic news, Kenny! I look forward to reading your review of the Lyngdorf. 

It might sound odd, but I've grown a bit weary of tinkering and tweaking. I would like to get off of the merry-go-round, as well.

With the DIs it's getting closer.

David, sounds like a sweet color, looking forward to seeing pics when you get them. 

Aniwolf, I used the WE wire about a year ago and then the Duelund 16 ha and liked them but I much prefer the Cerious Technologies wire. 

Thanks Charles, I'm hoping that my system is nearly complete when the new amp and SE's are in. Then I can do like you and just sit back and enjoy music for many years to some 🎼 🔉

What if Tekton releases a Double Impact SE Turbo MK2? :)

@jcarcopo and @kdude66   

What are your specific concerns based on your takes of the driver selection for the SEs? Thanks.

Do others share the same concerns?
