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.

David, I just finished reading up on your amplifiers. Love the design, parts choice and aesthetics! Makes me want to go out and purchase high efficiency speakers! Nice indeed.

Very interesting matching with a SOTA SS preamp. I will read up more on the Grandinote.

Tom, I also love your tube amplifier from Aric. You guys are causing me to have a bout of tube envy! I have been researching a tube amp build best suited for my Dali Epicon 6 speakers. I don’t need more than some 20- 35 watts as I just don’t play my music loud anymore. My speakers are easier to drive than the specs would suggest. I am itching to build one as a long term keeper.

@charles1dad Thank You! The Found Music 2A3 has me reconsidering everything. Everything.

I had promised a preamp update and I haven’t forgotten, but it needs to wait until I have the right connectors and cabling in system. Run in time for the cables will add another week. I should have a good feel for system performance with the new preamp, the Grandinote Genesi, and the Found Music 2A3 amps by mid December at the latest.

I have already experienced a taste of what’s in store and it is amazing.

@grannyring  Bill, Thank You. I realize most would have chosen a tubed preamp. I went with with I was hearing, my preferences, and a desire for a preamp that would allow for (as much as possible) the preservation of the Found Music 2A3's 'sound' / 'impact.' In the end, I decided a solid state preamp would be a better fit (for me and my system). The Robert Koda Takumi K-10 was my top choice.

@mac48025  Tom, It's wonderful hearing your findings on what Hornshoppe's The Truth has brought to your system. As you know, I was strongly considering it, but decided I needed active gain and the build I wanted (when a non-gain pre was a possibility) wasn't available in the near term.

Sorry,,, I can't seem to find an answer here or on the Tekton website.  Do the double impacts come with grills, or do you have to order them separately?  If they are separate how much extra?  Seems like they are delivered a little later than the speakers.
It's nice to see the speaker array, but eventually I would rather look at covered speakers.

Thanks,
Tim
