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 hear you stfoth, my wallet floats after the last couple of months!

I think you'll be very happy with the MZ2, Aric amp and Tekton combination. I sure am. 

Like you I admire and appreciate the efforts of the likes of Eric, Aric and while I have no experience with Dennis I'm sure he fits right in. Hand built products by men passionate about audio, talented in their craft and committed to providing high end gear at very reasonable prices........right here in the US. Gotta luv it.

I settled on NOS Tungsol round plate 12SN7's with Sylvania Gold Brand 12AT7's and really like that combo in the MZ2.

@theachean  Great to hear and thanks for sharing about your Brilliance speakers.

@stfoth  Great combination of gear. Looking forward to your continued reports on your system. Many lightened wallets due to this thread.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Brilliance, Achean!  I've had mine for about a year. It is coupled with my First Watt J-3, Oppo Universal Player, and Placette Audio pre-amp/ Passive Line Stage.  Many nights I listen to classical with my VPI Classic 2 & Soundsmith Voice. 
I've been talking with Eric Alexander about upgrading to the Brilliance PMD, but am very pleased with the speakers I'm using now.  I sense a certain clarity in the Brilliance that I missed in the D/I, but that could be my taste along.  I'd be interested in how you've placed your Brilliance in your room. BTW, a while ago  I tried to start a page on the Brilliance but got no takers.  This is  sort of a repeat of what I posted there. Are there any other Brilliance users lurking on this site?
