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 wondering the sound difference between the DI's and the brilliance. Looking at the Brilliance,due to its smaller footprint.
Well, that review should sell a few sets. I will look into the brilliance soon and look foreward to the review(s) and A-Gon members opinions. I have to finish the listening, er, living room first. Installing flooring today. I'm sure more people will be weighing in as the sales increase.
I have Kismet monos pushing the monitors with 2 REL subs.(see the photo gallery on the Tekton site, last pic.) These crank! I will be getting rid of the monos soon, If anyone is interested. It is a great combo! just waiting patiently for my grills...
Pawsman, I need the space in my rack for other gear, so I am going back to a stereo amp. My house and listening room are small, wich is why I went the monitor/sub route( and LOVE it!). I might regret it as there was a big difference when I swapped the Khartago for the monos.
nonoise, give me a p.m. I have the monitors and plan on a "review" soon. Thanks, Jeff
@corelli , I love the bottom end with this set up, thank you very much! A quick impression of the monitors, Out of the box I was not overly impressed, good but was'nt sure what the hype was about. About 20-50 hrs.they started to open up and I just love them. It's just great to sit in front of them and think, WOW. My wife has been continously impressed when she joins in the listening session. I would recomend these to anyone! They're just fantastic to listen to.I will be putting the (twice as much) Kismet monitors in soon for a comparison,but actually, I don't really want to.:)
