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.

Corelli,

The mod would involve swapping the x-over (the disconnecting of all top drives) so it's pretty extensive. The ability to solder proficiently is the main requirement as tweeters can be heat comprised with solder in less than one second. 

They could be sent in for the mod too.

@hfaddict - I know, this is about as rowdy as it gets in here. 😂

Just got a call from Tekton. My Ulfs are about to ship! Which is great since they'll be here and somewhat broken in when the family is here over Thanksgiving. Very good news today.

@bullitt5094 - that's great news.  Can't wait for your review of them.

You know, people are talking about making the mid-bass better with the DIs, though it's the mid-bass that really separates the DIs from many other speakers, which just can't seem to get mid-bass right.

Of course, my DIs were made in September, I believe, so I don't think I would want to touch the woofers, or any of the other speakers.
