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 Al,

Actually these days I am only using the DEQX for subwoofer duties. But your point about moving the speakers around is important. I am also no longer using the Zero's.

Tom,
Congratulations on your 300b SET amplifier,  it sounds like Aric did a fantastic job!  I think you're hearing what I hear regarding the 300b.  When executed to a high standard this tube just seems made for the sole purpose of  producing music beautifully and naturally. 

Aric built this amplifier with high quality transformers, parts and power supply and you're hearing the result of this effort. You have the right speakers to exploit all the attributes of this 300b amplifier. I'm very nappy for you Tom.

Ozzy,
As far as moving the speakers around folks here say the Herbie's footers are fine. for this task. Bottom line You had to do what’s best for you and I understand that. Best of luck going forward.

Hi Tom,
If you're getting 80 to 90 db SPL at the 9 o'clock volume control position,   you have a lot of system gain. Is the Micro ZOTL line stage gain adjustable?
