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.

While I've been away from the site for a while it's great to see how civil, impartial and informative this thread has stayed. While I've been reveling in the sound my SE's with Aric Audio's Linestage and 300B amp is providing I enjoy reading others experiences with their equipment. 

I too am looking forward to hearing lancelocks impression with his SE's with the LTA UL amp. 

Congrats harv! You're in for a lot of happy listening as the SE's will only get better with time.

mac, it's good to hear from you.  I was just yesterday wondering how you and your system are getting along.  Hoping your new Aric audio gear is all you were hoping for.  Had someone over today who requested an audition of my DI's.  I told him how you were instrumental in getting me on board with these great speakers.  He left, I believe, very favorably impressed with my modest system and room.

I, too, still enjoy reading  about all the amp combinations that The DI/SE's shine with.  It's fun to vicariously enjoy these experiences (and cheaper too!)

Did Charles ever get to hear your new gear?

Corelli, yes, the Aric gear is all I could have hoped for.....and more. 

Glad to hear I was helpful in you coming to your decision on the DI's. They really are amazing speakers.

I had a great time listening to some great music with Charles. He seemed to be very impressed with the sound.....but I don't want to put words into his mouth. He has a great ear and it's always good his assessment......and a good guy to boot.
