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.

Hello, I’ve been a lurker for most of the last past year over this discussion. I was really interested on buying the DI but unfortunately they are so far out of my reach. But now that Eric designed the Perfect SET, I’m almost set on them (pun intended). I live outside the US, so I cannot test them at home, but I trust a brand and an equipment when several knowledgeable fellow music lovers raves about them.

I was reading with great interest the thread by Teejay about their initial thoughts about the Perfect SET, but the discussion was removed by the moderators. It seems that there’s a couple of individuals that have an agenda against Eric and Tekton. So far, I’ve counted about ten discussions about Tekton speakers that have been removed over the last few weeks because of them.

Obviously, if I was Teejay, I wouldn’t rewrite another thread, but what I would like to know is if he’s willing to write about his findings on this thread, that is out of reach of those "gentlemen".

I know that as a rule, I shouldn’t ask for someone to hijack a thread, but it seems that this is the only safe place to hear about the opinions from other owners, as I’m willing to bet that the moderators won’t delete a 107 page discussion.

What I specifically want to know is if a cheap and cheerful 6.8 Watt Chinese SEP amp would do this speakers any justice.

Thank you for your help.

It seems that the post from Teajay is back up again. I'll post my questions over there.

@teajay Sorry for write your screen name wrong. Thank you very much for your recommendation. I have a question for you: My guess is that you have heard several models from Tekton, and judging by the design, it seems that the Perfect SET is more on par with the Lore and the Enzo 2.7 designs, than the Impact and Double Impact designs. Am I correct? The Perfect SET more like the best of the lower price models?

@jetter That was my idea too. The speakers would travel several miles and I’ll ask for better protection than the ones people on the US are receiving.

@mikirob I seriously don't understand those people posting on all of Tekton threads. I wish that the moderators ban those users from posting over Tekton discussions. Everybody knows who they are and for the moderators is easier to close an informative review than ban them.
