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.

Kenny’’s approach to directly comparing amplifiers (or any audio product) is very similar to what I do as well. It is to your advantage to select recordings that you are very familiar with and also enjoy. I usually play about 5 different songs (sometimes more). Just relax and listen, you don’t have to take an excessive analytical attitude where you attempt to scrutinize/itemize every sonic aspect. This is artificial and is not a natural listening mindset.

I’ll make the assumption that you love music and with a passion so there is undeniably emotion involved. Simply listen to the same selection of your music through both amplifiers (after a thorough warm up). Trust your ear/brain processing ability and your spontaneous reaction to what you hear.

At some juncture during this listening period you’ll find that one of these amplifiers connects you to the music (emotional involvement) more than the other. One will emerge as the amplifier that when in use seems to increase the enjoyment of listening to your music.

At this point of awareness you will realize which amplifier is allowing more genuine joy and pleasure of conveying the impact and innate beauty of music you love. This is a natural process and will eventually unfold if you relax and just let it happen. In my opinion audio components are simply conduits to connect you to the fundamental objective, enjoying music.

@evolvist - "I mean, if I had been told one month, I wouldn’t have batted an eye. Since I had been offered up two weeks, well, guess what? I expect two weeks."

It’s been two weeks. Did you cancel your order? If so, please let us know. (Not kidding).

Everyone... please have some patience with me. I’m overwhelmed with orders and I’m going as fast as I can. I cannot clone myself and I’ve hired more help. It’ll take time to get them properly trained and up to speed.

I pay Karma to field every last inquiry. Call or email her directly for even the smallest issue.

For the record: the DI’s w/upgraded x-over in standard black ship promptly - $3300 pair. It’s tends to be when clients order the high gloss custom finish or other custom add’s that projects get stalled out. It’s not fair to order something custom and come on here and complain as I’m working to make you something special that takes time.

The beauty of High End Audio is the very talented/committed people who produce excellent sounding products. Quite a few are one man operations. Positive word of mouth commentary is obviously good for their business and significantly increases demand. Inevitably this demand exceeds current supply and manufacturing capacity. These are essentially hand made products and can’t be mass produced off an automated assembly line. It will be interesting to see how Tekton manages its rapidly growing business scenario.
I wish them success.
