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.

Grey9hound:

Yes, very helpful and thanks for the effort. See that there are 4-legged options available.

Which specific model did you choose? The depth appears to be 14 inches on most and I wonder if that is sufficient for the 17 1/2 DI depth. Do you stick the inverted cone into the bottom of the DI cabinet?

You can purchase coupling discs separately they sit on top of the sharp spike that is attached to the platform .They are flat on top. The flat part is what you set the speaker on.It seems that they are many different ways to do this . I put the sharp spike onto the carpet under the platform .
Installed the spikes pointing up on the platform and the disc on the point on the top of the platform . leaving you a smooth flat surface for the speaker to contact and sit on.here really isn’t a pic showing that

+1 on Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Craig. Five is good; ten is, uh, two hands full and then some...

Thanks, Grey9hound.

Dave: five is enough for ten vets; they are not a healthy breed. But, then, there is the lapdog love. Other breeds are amateurs by comparison...

Craig, sorry to hear of the health issues. I am puzzled...none of our ten (3 to 7 yrs) have ever been to the vet since their initial puppy vaccinations. Our first one lived 14 years with no issues. 

Anyhow, as you said, they are the most loving dogs ever so worth the trouble.
