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.

Thanks for everyone’s opinion. They are all valid in the mind of each poster. Really that is all that counts. There really isn’t such thing as right and wrong because we all hear differently. We all have our preferences and that makes the world a more interesting place. I have a lot of respect for many of the posters here. As I said before, Teajay and Mike Kaye are great friends. On the other hand, I have been reading Grannyring’s posts for years and always respected his opinion. I always liked the AZ crescendo speakers at shows also. I am wondering if Grannyring modified that speaker also because I have been told that the designer also uses inexpensive parts and somehow still makes a great speaker.

One thing I would like everyone to think about is that we are listening to systems and not just speakers. The interesting thing is that amps that I thought would be great with all the Tekton speakers that I have heard (DI, DI SE, Ulfs) did not turn out that way. There is a 300 B amp that I didn’t particularly like on the DI that Teajay told me today sounded glorious on the Ulfs. In my mind I had already panned this amp but it could be the interaction in the system just didn’t work with the DI. The 2A3 amp that didn't work with the Ulfs etc. Audio is complicated for the most dedicated of us. It is apparent that these speakers can sound quite different in different systems. I never heard the speakers being bass shy at Teajay’s house. I have said before that I am more critical of the midrange and I am not that sensitive to bass as others are. I totally believe that in some systems and rooms the speaker might not be to eveyone’s taste. Audio is not paint by numbers and you cannot cobble together a system based upon reviews or other people’s experience. It really is trial and error until it works for you. Tekton has done audiophiles a great service offering excellent speakers for little money in high end economics. The fact that they are even in the conversation of great speakers at $3000 is astounding. They are obviously not for everyone but they can sound quite different with different amplication, wires, front ends and the list goes on and on. I hope Grannyring and others will continue to post because there is much to learn from them. We all lose by not hearing and considering all voices.
