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 am working on some Impact Monitors for another and it has given me ideas. Ideas for a killer monitor. Just in the infancy stage right now so I will hold off for now saying anything more.

Hi everyone, I've been reading with interest this thread. It seems like the DI are great speakers. Unfortunately, they are too big for my living room and therefore I'm considering the Tektron Elctrons instead. I'm considering also  the new Elac Adantes or perhaps even the new Magico A3s. I'm wondering if there is a way of auditioning the Tektron DIs or the Elctrons in the San Francisco East Bay.

Thanks to 333Jeffrey for inviting me to preview his Ulfberhts, I came home with his DI’s he had originally purchased.  After 2 days of listening to the DI’s in less than optimum placement, I offered up my Klipschorns on Craigslist. Less than 24 hours later they were sold and gone.  As for the Double Impacts, I’m a believer!

@rhg88 I live in the north bay if you care to listen to a pair of upgraded DI's. Message me if you are interested.

Hello everyone, been following this thread for awhile, first time posting. I wanna thank everyone for their valuable insights and opinions regarding their Tekton speakers.

@david_ten, I remember reading awhile back that you auditioned the GoldenEar Triton Reference. I’m trying to decide between the T-Refs and the SE’s, how would you compare the two? I understand the T-Refs has powered subwoofers built in, so it has an advantage when it comes to LF extension. What about other aspects of their performances, like imaging, resolution, timbre, texture, and the ability to sound like “live music”, etc. I couldn’t find any direct comparison of the two online, so your (or anyone else’s) help is much appreciated.

Thanks!
