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.

I ended up getting the Arendal 1723 Tower S.  They just arrived today and man they are great.  Really good build quality on the cabinets.  THX Ultra is no joke.

Still have my DI’s and love them more than ever. No desire to "upgrade". I would say the true value point of Tekton is between $3-10k. Voiced beautifully. Seamless integration of so many drivers. Great imaging. Dynamic.  Easy to drive. Love the fact that 50% of the budget did not go to a paper thin veneer. The Tekton detractors are a poor source of info on these great speakers.

I’m right there with ya, Mr Corelli!

 

I got the SE version of the DIs (right before the price adjustment!)   Haven’t heard or seen any sound that I like better than these!!!

The DI SE has been a great addition to my stereo. I certainly understand if some don’t like them or even have an issue with Eric. I have not and have had a good experience with the performance of the speakers and the customer service. I hear the complaints but don’t understand because most have not heard the brand or they say they are ugly when, as I have stated before, most speakers have grills. In the end, they are just speakers and I don’t get worked up about stereo equipment…so just enjoy listening to the music.
