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   Thanks. I don't need hdmi for audio at present, but I will keep Purist in mind if I do.

For those of you who are streaming Tidal / Roon, and may have interest, I've ordered a Small Green Computer 'sonicTransporter i7 for Roon DSP.' This will replace my full-on SGC streamer/ ripper/ server.

It will allow me to eliminate the Network Switch as it bridges Ethernet and allows for a direct LAN connection to a player (or DAC). In my system that is the Sonore Signature Rendu SE. The other option I considered was the Antipodes CX.

Hey Everybody,

Just wanted to share that Allan and I just setup for Audio Arza his new pair of Ulf Be's this morning.  In the past I have found that speaker designs that use Beryllium drivers often had an edge/ bite that I found annoying after listening to them over time.  However, remember the Ulf Be's were right out of the crates, this speaker was smooth and had a liquidity in their tonal quality, but were producing great micro-details and clarity without sounding hyper-detailed or analytical.  

So, congrats to Azra they sound great in his room and will only get better as they break-in and to Eric who has creatively designed another world class reference speaker that's as good as anything on the market regardless of price.
