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.

Has anybody run the DI with a Class D amp (using the Hypex nCore)? Would love to hear from you if you have.
I plan on starting a home theater system from scratch, and the reviews on the DIs are so good (and they fall within my budget) that I have settled on them. I don't know that tube amps are what I am interested in for various reasons including having young children, however the reviews I have read regarding the Hypex nCore based amps make them sound like a good alternative to a tube amp.

So I am thinking that, for the moment, I would start with the DIs, a Hypex nCore amp, and use my computer as the source to the amp. Then add piece by piece as finances allow.
I just bought the upgraded DIs, looking forward to getting them (and the grilles 6 months after that!) and finding out what all the fuss is about. Thanks to everybody sharing their input on this thread, y'all helped make a sale and get me into something fun. Thanks!

Will be running them with the Outlaw RR2160 stereo receiver for the time being. Over time I may get sucked in deeper and start looking into tube amps and the like.
Just a quick update... without any room correction, without moving the speakers around to find the ideal location (though taking y'alls suggestions!), with a receiver as my amp (Outlaw RR2160), without any feet inserted until just today... the upgraded DIs sound wonderful after about 20-30 hours listening time.

I am sure there are better speakers out there, I haven't heard them all and can't pretend to have done so, but having purchased these speakers without having heard them I can assure you that I couldn't be happier. With all the other tweaks and added equipment I can only imagine how much better they get for those of you that are that way inclined.

But if you're like me and keeping it relatively simple (at least for now) they have my vote of approval.
