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.

David,
Congratulations the new T+A integrated amplifier. I know you conducted an admirably thorough audition with it compared to other excellent and highly regarded competitors. Given your objective and preferences you made the best choice in my opinion . I believe that it will mate exceptionally well with the high resolution yet natural sounding Double Impact SE.

I’d like to point out and reinforce how well the Tekton SEs scale. This has become abundantly obvious, based on the gear I’ve had a chance to evaluate over the past four months.

Can other SE owners and those who have heard the SEs comment on this?

I’m confident I’m not close to their outer limits.

I just read up on your new integrated amplifier. That is a fantastic looking build and design. Serious power supply and build construction is just the start with this piece. Congrats on your purchase. I bet your system sounds amazing!

@grannyring  Bill, Thank you! I'd love your thoughts on it, given your extensive background and experience. I'll PM you so we can stay on topic with the Tekton speakers here.

I just pulled the SEs out of rotation for the first time in months! Have the gorgeous Italian Chario Academy Sonnet Monitor speakers (with bespoke/dedicated stands) fired up for the first time in over a year. Bi-wiring with two different brands/types of speaker cables, one of which needs run in time. I'll post summary findings vs the full range SEs, should anything stand out.
