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.

teajay,

"In my professional work the website I write for does not do reviews on IC’s, speaker wire, or power cords. "


Good for them, IMO :-)

I read your reviews of the Tekton speakers with interest and admit they made me want to hear them (I still do).

Though I have to admit when the reviewer starts also talking about "great sounding power cords" it’s a reminder to me to take my daily "grain of salt" in reading high end audio reviews.

Anyway, I’d rolled around the idea of ordering some Tekton Brilliance to try out, but other threads seem to indicate Tekton is having a problem getting product to customers in a timely fashion. Is that still the case?
(Anyone?).

Congratulations to Eric for the recent Stereophile review, giving some technical vindication to his design!

Remember when the Tekton Double Impacts were the new "flavour of the month" and (some) reviewers and audiophiles were "dumping their Wilsons" and other more expensive speakers for the DIs?

Seems the heat of all that has worn off.

Still, it's good if there are satisfied DI owners.   !
