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.

@laaudionut Brian, Thanks for sharing your journey with preamps in your system. It’s wonderful hearing from another very happy Aric Audio customer! I’m sure you are looking forward to your custom preamp and I, for one, would love to read a detailed comparison between Aric’s linestages and what they brought to your system vs the XP-20.

@travbrow I appreciate your comment very much.  If you choose to go down the placebophile yellow brick road you will convince yourself of anything to justify the excessive shrinking of your bank account.  Like @fetguy said this isn't rocket 🚀 science. Digital audio transmitted via USB is pretty simple to grasp and just simply works or it doesn't.  Many highend USB cables measure poorly and don't even carry a basic digital signal to their destination as adeptly as their mass produced brethren.

I hope I'm fortunate enough on my next visit to NO that I get the pleasure of meeting David and hearing his system.
Tom, let me know when! It will be great to have you over and to compare notes on our different systems with the one common and brilliant component.

David, Congratulations on your excellent system. You've put the work and time in to achieve this level of success.

Charles, THANK You! You have been a leading influence in the journey. I am very grateful!!!

I've made a temporary cable decision for the Lyric integrated amp (though I'm thinking of changing it). I've taken a break from the Lyric cable synergy experimenting. Currently, I am working on the best pairing, within budget constraints, for the Pass separates and SE.

I will revisit the Lyric once I order and receive a new quad of power tubes.

The Mastersound demo should come together in my own system and room this month, thanks to the Distributor's efforts.

Once it's sorted out, I will report back.
