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.

Bill, keep posting.  I conceded (at least to myself) some time ago.  I've really appreciated all your posts and the great info you have placed on this thread.

Charles, to be honest, come the end of the season, I'm ready for a change.  I bought a pair of cross country skis 2 years ago and find this a great winter sport.  Easy on the joints, lots of fresh air and wildlife.  Love it.  And heck, Michigan winters and tubes were meant for each other!

Greg, sounds like biker heaven.  I enjoyed a trip to Yosemite and Northern California a number of years ago.  Very memorable trip indeed.  We drove into Yosemite one evening in April.  Snowed 13" that night and we were "trapped" in the park.  Next morning, in full sun and blue sky, the trees were heavy with snow.  Magnificent.  Just magnificent.

David, you overestimate my biking resolve!

@corelli - I am unable to see how to attach photos directly to the post, but I can post a link to Tom’s newly transferred amp.

That would be great Aric. I've visited your site several times and will keep an eye out for Tom's build.

LOL, the sedentary time this hobby generates has to balanced somehow. Good for you Corelli, for me it's the treadmill.

@mac Makes sense the footers would transfer less vibration when under less compression, hence the benefit for the larger Gaia I's. Thanks for pointing that out.

Could be that benefits of a DAC upgrade may be partially obscured if first reflection points/acoustics and speaker isolation are not addressed first.

@david_ten  Really enjoyed Bad Plus at San Fernando Perfoming Arts Center (CSU Northridge) with Brad Mehldau Trio. Seeing fingers on the strings while hearing is so cool, makes me wish I could play bass. Stanely Clark at the Catalina Jazz Club put on a great show as well.
