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.

Congrats jcarcopo, I can't imagine you not being happy with the new speakers. The color sounds cool also. Sorry to hear about your dealings with CPT but it's not surprising as he pleaded guilty to fraud, or something like that, in his previous audio business. I don't remember the particulars but Google his name to learn more. Hopefully you'll get your refund but it may need to obtain an attorney to do so.

Please keep us informed of your impressions of the mini Ulfbehrts. It would be interesting to hear how they compare with SE's.

@mac48025 - Thanks for the information. I'm glad you told me.  I will know by Monday if the refund was applied via PayPal after they retry his bank account. If that doesn't go through I will seek a claim directly through PayPal. My case is iron clad since he did initiate the refund at least despite it bouncing his checking account once already.   I'm really excited about the mini Ulfberhts. I can't wait to hear them.  I hope they are able to be driven by my set amp. The efficiency is a bit lower; around 95db, but hopefully my emission labs 300b xls can still drive them at 13wpc, but if not the Nord monoblocks are 400wpc into 4ohms and they already sound great on my di's.  They really are very good class d amps.  My friend borrowed them and put them up against class a pass labs monoblocks and they fared quite favorably.

@xenophon  +1 on your "piping  up" as you put it! Great to have you on board with the DIs and also contributing here. Keep up posted on developments. BTW, what are the amplification components you are "lusting after?"

@jcarcopo  Congratulations on the Mini-Ulfs. REALLY looking forward to your impressions once they have settled into your system. The Diavolo's 13 Watts should be more than enough, and when they aren't you've got the perfect replacements! All the best with settling the refund.

@jcarcopo,
Yes, I posted pics from the Tekton FB page. They weren't my DIs but I was posting the paint color I had ordered. Enjoy. Looking forward to your impression of the mini ulfs.

@xenophon  Glad you are so happy with your DI's and hope you keep contributing to the thread!  It's fun to hear from members that have read this thread for many months finally take the plunge.

@jcarcopo   I will be curious to hear your impressions.  Would also like to know what drivers are employed in this design.  Look forward to hearing from you.
