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 think I would assume the TD continually strives for excellence in his products!

I assume they do to. I agree 100%.  I would still buy from them as I love his spirit of innovation and product.  I do wish the design was more “finished” before intro however.  Again, I point this out so we know we will hear differences in our DIs.  While the sheer degree and amount of change makes me scratch my head, I don’t think it means the DI speaker is not a great speaker. It is a great speaker and one that is certainly evolving in a speedy fashion.

Funny thing is that I doubt anybody would be pulling apart their Magico's and comparing notes. The other aspect is you CAN have different inductors and capacitors as your speaker wiring diagrams change, and I don't know the science behind it but Eric surely does!

Yes, you can have differing values. In the cases I point out the change in values reflects a change in the frequencies handled by the drivers they feed. This change in frequencies handled will change the sound especially if all 6 outer ring tweets are playing higher frequencies than another set of DI speakers. This is what is happening depending on the set one has. All will sound good, but the presentation will certainly be different. Some will pick it up fast, others not. That is the world of audio.

Yes, few would pull apart a Magico 😟.  I would however......

I really like my Pendragons,and,they do a lot of HT duty as well as just plain Jammin Out..someday I will get a pair of DI's by then I should be able to score a pair used for a great deal..
