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.

Hey canibefrank,

I wrote a review on them for hometheaterreview.com, gave them five stars, nick-named them the "DI Jr's", and bought the review pair for my smaller system.  If you want the details why go to my review and take a look.

 I'm debating between getting the double impact floorstanders and the Double Impact monitors & pairing the monitors with a good  subwoofer . Which  subwoofer would be recommended with the monitors? What are the opinions supporting either case? Thank you.

totalwex,I use to DI's with a pair of Hsu sealed subs to very good effect.  I have not heard the monitors but I can tell you that you will get better bottom octave coverage using the subs.  If the monitor option allows you to better optimize speaker placement (i.e. to give them breathing room) that is what I would do.  If you could optimally place either speaker, the DI's alone would keep many happy (but in my room drop off rapidly below 30hz).

Thank you Corelli.......I appreciate your input...I just worry about a smooth transition ...but will be using in ht 75%....any other suggestions for single or dual subs at the 1 k cost also be appreciated. There would be a 110 inch screen in between the speakers. Decisions decisions 😊
