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.

Oh.., I will have to take a look at that video.

Upgrading the internals sounds like a great idea to me, however electronic tech is clearly not my strong suit. 

Will you make a house call to the Chicago area?

Glad my Electrons don't need that resistor. I would hate to try installing that.

Tom, I think you could handle it if directly behind a mid driver. I do want to emphasize the speaker is still wonderful without it.

This is a suggestion, purely a suggestion.....

Bill, your work with the Tekton Double Impacts has been fantastic and helpful to many. I certainly appreciate it and I'm sure many others do as well. Your posts, not only on the DIs, but also in other areas like the TDAI 2170, etc. have been educational to me and I continue to learn from your posts.

Perhaps those looking to modify their Double Impacts and other Tekton Design speakers would be best served with a thread, with you as the OP, that is focused on Modding Tekton Speakers.

As a Double Impact owner and now a DI SE owner, I sometimes have trouble keeping up with all the variations one can apply to these speakers. And more importantly, once modded what / which version / type of speaker are we really discussing? It gets difficult for me. Those new to the thread or those initiating their research of the Double Impacts may be overwhelmed and perhaps even confused.

Again, this is a suggestion. These are open threads and members can do what they personally feel works best for them.

Perhaps others can comment with their thoughts.

Well just got off the phone with Eric (who was extremely pissy and rude I might add lol) and he explained that the DI’s are the only one’s that need the change. It is only for people with DI’s in smaller rooms. Apparently people are calling and bugging him about this (oh well too bad). I suggested to him maybe posting this on his blog, but he said, he doesn’t have the time.
