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.

Yeah, no doubt. If someone lives on the east coast and is in the market it would definitely be worth the drive to pick them up.

@corelli  What kind of low end extension do you think the Electrons are achieving in your room?

It's hard for me to answer that scientificially because I'm not a "techy" guy but Tekton says they go to go 30, my crossover with the Anthem is at 80 I believe, the Piega Mk11 takes over from there. 

How do they sound down there? Damn sweet! Tight bass, full, accurate, very pleasant :)

Mids and highs are identical I assume to the DI's which is phenomenal. Very good speaker. Highly recommended!

Glad you are enjoying them knollbrent.  I turned off my subs last night and I was re-impressed by how well the DI's do on their own, even way out into the room.  Suspect the Electrons are similar in that regard

Hello all, one of the long time lurkers, first time posters. I'd feel remiss if I didn't post and extend a huge Thank You! to this forum and the many posters. I guess I'm an audiophile novice. I have reached out for help to james_w514 and corelli who both were extremely friendly and helpful in providing knowledge. I was fortunate enough to live fairly close to Tekton and Eric was gracious in letting me visit and audition a couple of speakers (Electron and Ulfberht). Eric came across as very knowledgeable, passionate and had the ability to answer my questions and explain things in layman's terms. He was direct and confident. I had a wonderful experience that day and subsequently on phone conversations w/ both Eric and Karma. teajay's reviews didn't hurt either! I ended up w/ a pair of the SEs in black, high gloss. Could not be happier w/ them. grannyring's posts and info also helped in convincing me to give the Lyngdorf TDAI 2170 a go and it didn't disappoint in the slightest. Many other posters info has been invaluable to me, mac48025, charles1dad, kdude66, aniwolfe and many others that are slipping my mind. Anyway, just had to say thanx and express how much I have enjoyed and plan to continue to enjoy this thread!

P.S. I also found out about from this thread and had excellent experiences w/ audioarchon and rgrost (cables)
