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.

@snovosel ,

For that “much more lively sonic experience“ you might want to hear the DI SE. I feel that’s a good description. I have heard the Spatial Audio M3 Triode Masters during the short time they were at Linear Tube Audio and I agree they are impressive.

If you liked the Linear Tube Audio MZ2 and ZOTL40 then you have to hear the UltraLinear and the new MicroZOTL Pre. This combination is in another sonic league. They must be used together and they make the DI SE sing like angels from heaven.

@tommypenngotti  posted this in a thread he started about speakers under 5K. Perhaps those with the DIs and the SEs can answer the following:

I'm leaning towards the Tekton DI's

what are the differences [DI vs SE] ? thanks!

@snovosel It's amazing the length you went to to find the right equipment. I was wondering if you could share a bit more your impressions on the amps. How did the new XA25 stack to the rest of the gear? What made the Primalunas stand out above the rest? How did you find the low powered amps driving large, not super efficient towers?

An Eric Alexander speaker specifically designed for SET amps:

and you tube lovers are not all over it?

Would have thought it would the main topic in this thread for some time...

Great to see an 8 Ohm specific design.
