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.

Hey Guys,

Long time audiophile, first time post here! I just got my DI's about a week ago. I absolutely hated them out of the box!  No refinement, in you face, dark, and no bass presence. I ran them 24/7 for a few days to get a quick 50+ hours on them, and boy, what a difference! I have had just in the past year Paradigm Trubutes, Legacy Focus SE's (still have now sidelined), and the DI's sound just as good if not better then them. They now have closer to 100 hours on them and they sound wonderful. My only gripe at this point is I wish the bass would fill in a little more and go a little deeper as I hate to use subs with speakers this big. My room is only 12.5 x 14.5 with 7ft ceilings. BTW, using Audio-GD Master 7 Dac with ACSS output to Krell Evo 202 preamp to cast input and hight power SS mono amps.

craigl59,

I think you are correct. I think its a room size issue. If I stand behind my listening position, the bass gets much better. Unfortunately I can't move the seats back as that's how I get into the room. Maybe I'll give bass traps a try, i may be getting some cancellations .
