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.

I've read through (or at least scanned) this entire thread over the past month and I'm pretty intrigued by these speakers (or perhaps the Moabs).

One area that I don't recall being discussed much is how directional these speakers are. Steve Lefkowicz's review on positive-feedback.com mentions that these speakers are highly directional implying limited off-axis response (at least in the midrange). This doesn't seem to jive with the Stereophile measurements of the Impact Monitors. 

I realize that every speaker is going to sound it's best in the ideal seating position (and from what I've read, the DIs are pretty stellar in this regard), but is it possible to get respectable imaging for two or three listeners sitting on a sofa?

I'd be using these in a fairly large room (about 19' x 27' x 8'), so distance to the speakers could be 12' or so.

Thanks.
@jaytor The Double Impacts have a large (3D area) ’sweet spot’ for listening positions. The DI-SEs even more so than the DIs. A performance attribute I loved about the SEs.

I worked with the SEs more extensively (to get them ’dialed’ in) so the same may be true for the DI base versions.

So I disagree with the PF "findings’ on off-axis response you point out in your post.

This is an area and feature/benefit of the DIs/DI-SEs that is superior to my Cube Audio Nenuphars.

I cannot comment on the Moab as I have not heard them. All Ulfberths (3) that I have heard had a large ’sweet’ spot (in other folks’ systems and rooms). The double tweeter array may behave differently than the single array.

@teajay would be a great resource on this.

FWIW: My room is 19 ft (front wall) by 26 ft by 9ft. Very close in size to yours. And I also (at times) sat 12 feet from the speaker plane.
Hi:
Just completed reading this entire thread: quite an education! I respect very much the generally cordial tone expressed here and the excitement is absolutely contagious! I’ve also read all I could find about Tekton speakers (and all YouTube videos), so I think I have a pretty good handle on them. I also auditioned a pair of DI’s a couple of years ago and it’s probably the greatest demonstration I’ve ever heard. 
  At any rate, I see this thread has been silent for awhile, so I hope it’s still active. I’m downsizing, moving to a small condo. If not for that, I believe I’d have gone with a pair of the new Moabs, as they seem to me to be the greatest bang for the buck at this time. Alas, my much smaller new space will not accommodate them (or even DI’s). So my question to you guys is: should I go for the Impact Monitors or the Electrons? I like floor standers and I believe midbass might be better on them, but there is the cost consideration (if I go with the Electon SEs, they are actually more expensive than the DI’s). The room they are going on is about 12” wide, 16” long, haven’t measured the ceilings, but probably not much over 8 feet high. It’s on the second floor and is really a living room and kitchen combined. I’d greatly appreciate any thoughts on what’s the best choice would be on my situation: Impact Monitors, Electrons or Electons SE.
many thanks!
@vidiot33       My hat is off to you--that's quite a read. Perhaps not War and Peace, but still an accomplishment.

Many pages back there was an individual who had space issues and went with the Impact Monitors.  He actually bought a pair of REL subs I had for sale (back when I first bought my DI's) and he was very pleased with the result. Many people would probably be happy without subs. Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with any of the above choices as they all share the critical tweeter array.  But if I wanted a full range all in one package I would lean towards the Electron SE's.  Wish I could tell you I've heard them all--I haven't.  Just a gut feeling that they are well worth the cost.  Then there is the Perfect SET to consider.  What electronics will you be using?
