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 All, 

First let me say this has been one of the best forum threads I have ever read.  It seems that every few posts I find myself off researching some new hidden gem of the audio world buried on the internet.  I've been following this thread for about 6 months out of curiosity, but recently managed to blow a woofer on my existing speakers which I've had since 2000.  I blame Wonder Woman's crossed bracelets and a receiver that was on the way out.  The receiver has been replaced.  Now I find myself seriously considering pulling the trigger on getting a new set of speakers, and the Tekton DI's have become my first choice, all thanks to you folks.  I would really like the chance to listen to a pair of these.  I live in NE Georgia.  Would there be any DI owners located between Atlanta (GA), Chattanooga (TN), Knoxville (TN), Asheville (NC), or Greenville (SC)?  Would anyone be willing to let me listen?  The weather has turned nice and I would jump at the chance for a little road trip to listen to these.  My main listening is HT, but maybe 10-20% music.  I'm interested in a speaker that will allow me to slowly build a hifi system as budget allows.  

If you have any recommendations, advice, or thoughts I'll be open to your input.

Once again, thank you to all the folks who have put their experience, thoughts, advice, and recommendations on this forum.  I've learned a lot from you, and plan to continue following this thread.  

Cheers!

@david_ten   Yes, I've been in contact with grey9hound and waltersalas.  I'm going to plan an good road trip around the great smoky mountains to listen to DI's.  It will be June before I can do such a trip, but I'll post my thoughts.  I'm guessing it will just confirm that my next set of speakers will be DI's.
