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.

Can anyone tell me the type of type/# thread required for aftermarket feet of gliders on the DIs??

Standard/Metric , and what length I should to order??

In particular, I'm currently looking to order up some Herbie's threaded stud gliders to fill those holes and help with noise isolation. 


That is, unless someone has a better, equally reasonably priced option for hardwood floors. Spikes are OUT. and Spikes in shoes/spike gliders are just too cumbersome for my tastes.

@ craigl5945 or anyone else with the Herbie threaded stud gliders

Did people buy the standard sized Herbies Stud glider, or did you buy the Giant stud glider??

If the answer is giant, does the dimension of the stud glider extend past the dimensions of the speaker base due to the size?

I'm trying to sort out how large these gliders appear once installed considering my DIs currently are right next to, and are abutting hard wood molding on the floor 

Also, the Giant Stud glider is twice as expensive for a set of 8 feet. Just trying to gauge if its worth the ugprade to the giant size.

@kdude66 Funny you mentioned hockey pucks...

My current subwoofer, an Outlaw Audio, is resting on four DIY hockey pucks. They actually work great. Think I picked them up for about 3 bucks a pop online somewhere. 

Will have to switch those over when I get the new monster sub.

I have my Double Impact Towers, but am currently awaiting one of Erics massive Brisance subwoofers, as well as a custom designed center and standard surrounds to complete the 5.1 double impact surround system.

My friend received his already. Good lord. I've never seen a HT subwoofer so massive. 

May have to load up the Brisance Sub onto some pucks when I finally get it. 


In the meantime, I think I'll buy the standard Herbies threaded stud gliders and see how it goes. Save a decent chunk of change over the giant gliders. I just cant imagine the giant gliders will provide that much better isolation and sound over the standard size gliders. ~$150 difference between the two for a set of 8.
