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’m a current Pendragon owner considering trading out for the DI at some point. I’ve really enjoyed following this thread and especially the amplifier ideas. I’m curious now to try the MZ2, and Craig - I’ve previously read alot about the Nord amps and am curious to try those too. The Hypex amps that Nord sources from are pretty interesting. So I figure I’ll run two amplifier options with one running 1 watt, and the other 500+. Variety is the spice of life....

Greetings to everyone.

Hi @iamasif  
It depends on how good your sub is.  It sounds to me like you have a good one if your preset 2 is working well.  Preset 2 is sending more of the lowest frequencies to the subwoofer.  50hz is reasonable although the DI's should be strong down to 30 hz or so.  I would only suggest trying preset 2 with a 40 hz or even 35hz crossover on the DI's and seeing if that's an improvement.

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but there are 2 new reviews of the DI's up online.
