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.

mac48025 Subwoofers? Why? Those cars make some of the most beautiful music known to man. LOL 1400 wheel HP at WOT and twin turbos. It's quite the crescendo.
But I did compete in IASCA car sound competition with out 1996 Impala SS. Strangely enough, it had an all digital front end using Alpine components. Rare in those days. So now with the Lyngdorf my home audio finally caught up with my 1996 car audio system. :-)

Oh, and Eric ALSO did the car audio thing. I think his hobby is collecting hobbies too.

All the talk of listening levels, piqued my curiosity....

This is non-calibrated, via an App. 

'The Wanderings of the Avener' by The Avener  I'm listening to this Lounge/House music right now and am averaging 76dB with 87dB max levels. This is about the loudest I listen. I'd rather listen to this about 5dB below these levels, say 70dB average with 80dB peaks.

Most of my music (jazz and other acoustic music) I listen to ranges in the 50s and 60s with peaks around 70 and just over.

I tested it with two different apps and two different devices and all four readings were +/- 1 to 2dB of each other.

Interesting.

David,
We're you using A or C weighted scale for your readings?  Curious as C weighted will measure roughly 8 to 10 db higher at a given volume if a meter allows switching between the two scales. I use C weighted/fast scale.

Hi Charles. I'm pretty sure these apps are using the A scale. But none of them specify. Their 'metrics' provided for comparison fit that scale. Neither offer the option to switch.
