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.

Professional Reviewer so what? Do I have to believe anyone who claim to be Jesus just because he carries a bible and speak from it?

Hey muzikmann,

Thanks for the advice to listen to some great music, I am already!

I don't know what your basing your perception on that I'm upset, but that's OK.  If you mean I find statements that I disagree with somewhat annoying, including being accused of not telling the truth that's correct.

As I told Eric this morning regarding nay-sayers towards him and his speakers, which is a very tiny % of the members posting here:

Hey Teajay,
Something I have noticed about you on this thread is that you seem to have issues with what some people are feeding their DIs with, especially those that say something negative about the DI sound. While I agree that you may be right in some situations, I think questioning what Grannyring is feeding his DIs is not right. This man has owned very nice/expensive gear and sold them for the Lyngdorf that he likes so much. With his experience and ears, wouldn’t he know the sound he is after, and know if the Lyngdorf is not playing well with he DIs?

I will take mine to a level beyond the SEs and see what that does. Should be fun, informative, and a labor of love.

This was kind of what I was thinking. Should I ever care to upgrade, why spend all of that extra bread when I can upgrade to something greater than the DI SEs just with wires, caps and do-dads, never mind a change in woofers.

I'm a long way from anything like that, but I hope you stick around, or perhaps be available to bounce ideas off of. 

I would be interested in hearing about your labor of love. :-)
