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 werther,

It's too soon to tell, Azra's Ulf Be's have to break-in and his upstream gear is brand new, so therefore let's let him get some hours on the total rig.

My system with the Ulf's sits in a much larger acoustic space and is tuned to be beautiful tube based sound.  Azra's system is now powered with the current reference level T&A integrated amplifier which is a terrific SS piece, but sounds different then my system.  Remember, both versions of the ULf's and the DI's are conduits that purely let the upstream gear to present it's sonic voice. So, I'll give you more of an objective take on the Ulf Be's in the next couple of weeks and see what are the differences between them and the standard Ulf's that I can get a take on.

@teajay Thanks for the update on Azra’s Ulfberth BEs and importantly on the clarification that they are fresh out of the box, including his T+A amp, and the room and your personal system differences. It’s really important to know that.

Looking forward to your report on the BEs and Azra’s system in a couple of weeks.
