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.

Why all of a sudden do I feel 7 tweeters are not enough?

@corelli The 15 tweeter MTM is no joke. The higher quality tweeter drivers used in the Encore are very revealing and with 15 of them the vocals and instruments from the 300hz midrange all the way through the treble region is just effortless, incredibly detailed, never harsh, totally enveloping, and they epitomize coherance.

The midbass drivers are the Italian ones like in the Ulfs, and the long throw 11" woofers are absolutely incredible recreating detailed, tight, and seismic bass that is simply stunning. These type of woofers are a departure from the pro-audio type paper woofers found in the DIs, SE, and Ulfs and there’s no comparison in what they do when compared to the DIs I’ve enjoyed over the last year so much.

I really do hope someone else gets a pair soon and chimes in so I’m not the only one blathering on mesmorized by the Encore’s performance. I feel like a lonely fanboi who won’t shut up about them. Sorry about that. (not sorry, 😂 )

@ jcarcopo
Actually I'm very happy for you and am quite serious about the tweeter issue.  While many have scoffed at Eric's patent, I will say this---when implemented correctly,  there is a big advantage to having low mass tweeters cover an unprecedented number of octaves.  As stated before, the drivers are virtually never pushed or stressed.  So that liquid, smooth yet detailed sound is readily achieved without resorting to silly expensive drivers. No aoplogies jcarcopo nor do I doubt your impressions of this new speaker.
