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.

Thanks Kenney!

That is likely the same PP amp I have - a modified kit-built Consonance Ella from diyCable. I built it in 2001.

In any case the 300B is so much sweeter overall and will be my amp for the DI's.

Hi guys,

Long-time Tekton Lore user looking to upgrade to the DI.

I use a 300B amp I built based on the WE 91 circuit using Sophia Electric 300B meshplates tubes and Sophia 91-01 OPT's. The output secondary windings are 4 or 8 ohm.

I also have a EL34 PP amp with 4 and 8 ohm secondaries.

My question is: what speaker should I order? 4 or 8 ohm?

Also, are there any DI's in the upper midwest I can demo? I am located in Minneapolis.

Thanks,
Adam
