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.

grannyring,

Eric never replied to me. The girl that I spoke to on the phone finally emailed me about the external crossover possibility with a simple no.
No response about the 8 ohm version.

jayctoy,

It looks like it will never happen, but thank you.

Lak,

An hour away? We will need to plan a visit regardless.

I see.  Thanks Ozzy. I can understand why he would shy away from that.

Ozzy,

I build speakers all day long. Anyone wanting to communicate with me is going to have more success via phone call. I can work and talk with a headset but have found it difficult to work and type. Calling us is always preferred.

David,
After experimenting with different tubes and cathode bypass switches the amp is sounding wonderful. I now understand what all the talk of SET magic is about. I got a taste of it with Charles' Frankensteins but experiencing it daily is a real treat. The Aric Audio 300B is amazingly powerful sounding, very dynamic, exceptional tone, beautiful midrange with a huge 3D soundstaging. The musical realism is addictive and I find myself spending a lot more time listening to music now. This is with EH 300B tubes, I can't wait to hear how it will sound with the EML XLS 300B's I'm ordering tomorrow.

You could say I'm quite happy with it! ;)
