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.

No jayctoy, I am one of the more boring steady players, but in this case very happy that way!  You may be thinking of jcarcopo?  You will be happy with the dynamics of the DI's.  Many owners have commented on that being a strength.

I spoke to Eric the other week in an effort to chose one of his speakers for my secondary system.  One option was to get the Moabs and move my DI's into the secondary system (wife less thrilled with that).  I opted to keep the DI's in the main system and go with Electron SE's in the secondary.  I am sure they will be great.  Guess the point I was going to make was that Eric never tries to upsell you.  Just points out the virtues of each.

Yes I forgot , I am referring to jrcarcopo, I was watching Erik video last night regarding, speakers room overloading, He said if the room has good acoustic it’s hard to overload the room. Corelli I have the impact monitors half of DI and the perfect set 12 half of MOAB. I find the DI more dynamic than the perfect set,but I do prefer the ps 12 on classical, the DI on jazz and small band. Both are good speakers if you match them right.They like tubes.

The Encore always intrigue me , because of Clements Perry’s reviews, I bet they are good.

I loved my Double Impacts, but I'm in love with my Encores. I still have no intention of upgrading anytime ever.  To me, the MTM array gives you more detail, no harshness, and better sound staging.  The bass is a huge upgrade over my DIs. They were made just for me and they are really terrific sounding. I know dozens of happy Encore owners, but I totally agree, the DIs are no slouch and also excellent sounding too.  You can't go wrong eitherway.  Encores to me represent the best proportioned speaker at an insane price value for the ~$4k of drivers, alone.
