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’m guessing he doesn’t have time to do any shows. The build list has got to be long since I’m on a 16 to 20 week wait. So why pay for a room at  Axpona?

csmgolf,
agree with you, why bother to give anyone who wants to see or hear the speaker their only chance before buying it.  After all, it must be expensive to buy a room or booth.

james, that would be true if you weren’t talking about a one hundred pound speaker. I would hesitate with that kind of unwieldy weight.

I have been to both RMAF and Axpona. Travel 1300 miles to RMAF or 300 to Axpona when the vast majority of the exhibitors are the same at both shows? Travel another 1000 miles to hear one speaker? I think not. They have a dealer in the immediate area and still don't have a presence. I have auditioned one Tekton speaker that many on the internet praised, the Pendragon. I am glad I heard them first. While they were not bad, I would not purchase them. The trial period would only interest me if I heard the DI first and I found them to be significantly better than the Pendragon. Then it would be a matter of whether they work in my room or not and I would be willing to try. Shipping speakers, especially large ones, is a PITA and I choose to avoid it when I can. If the aspiration is to prove that you have the best speaker in the world and you want to be one of the big boys, then be where the big boys are and show your stuff. It just doesn't seem that difficult, particularly when a dealer is right there. All of this is just IMHO.
