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.

Nitrobob,

Will be interesting to hear your comparison since Ascend is known to be a Big Bang for your buck product. I have a pair of Vapor Stiff Breeze with the Raal. They impress the hell out of me in a lot of ways. They only stayed hooked up for about a week before I put the DIs back in. I could see though how someone could prefer one presentation over the other. Trying to figure out room for a second system for them. 
Give them 50-60 hours to break in. They sound great out of the box but a tad edgy IMO.

I think anyone with trypophobia would steer clear of the DI's!

mofojo ...


Thanks . I also have 2 PSA 1801 18 inch 750 watt subs that I'm not real sure how their going to fit into this picture . Might use one and cross the DI over at 60, use the PSA's(s) below that...  I doubt I'll need both . But these DI will see plenty of 112 -113 db levels with concerts. I like it punchy ...Just have to see

If trypophobia bothers you don’t think of them a holes. Instead, think of them as multiple eye balls. Like a lovable spider just watching you. Waiting for you to fall asleep.
