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.

@zenbikefish   If you are maxed out at 4k,  you would be limited to the DI's with Be tweeter--right?  At least if buying new.  I find the Tektons to be neutral speakers that emphasize no part of the spectrum.  As another option you could do the SE's and focus on your upstream gear to offer what you are looking for.  All the Tektons are very good at responding to what is placed upstream.  You are at an interesting price point.  If you were able to accommodate the Moabs, the extra $500 would be trivial in the long haul
@zenbikefish, I agree with corelli, save for Moabs w/Be tweeter, the 15 tweeter array is considerably more transparent especially the mids/vocals and will be a longer term investment, end game for most.
I ordered the Impact Monitors on May 13th when I could longer resist the song of the upgrade siren. I have been a wide band single driver + sub guy for a long time. Going for a rather industrial looking three way, nine driver speaker instead of the beautifully finished Omegas currently in residence is a big change, indeed. After reading the many opinions here and elsewhere about amplifier matching with these speakers, I picked up a passive preamp on A'Gon and plan on moving a W4S amp + tube buffer into the room for the Tektons instead the small integrated tube amp I have been using with the Omegas. It is a relatively small room with limited options for speaker placement- looking forward to seeing if they work for me.

Question for corelli or anyone else with Tekton DI experience...
Looking at both the Magnepan 1.7i with JL Audio f113 sub and the Tekton DI, maybe SE to upgrade my audio system. When I contacted Tekton directly they told me the DI SE would match well with my system. They did not elaborate on questions about the BE tweeter or upgraded drivers on the SE.
Also, surprisingly, when I asked if I did not like them could I return them to an authorized dealer in Chicago, Audio Archon to avoid expensive shipping and hand deliver them to dealer.... the option was not offered. I have to ship them back to Teckton???
I thought Audio Archon was an authorized dealer? Anyone know about this? What kind of experience has anyone had with the DI or DI SE?

A little information from me. My room is approximately 18.8 feet by 15.5 feet. Ceiling is 9.5 feet high and two walls have windows and blinds, with one wall that is all cork board. It is all shag carpeted. Without treatments the room sounds good, and can be lively.
I have two audio systems that I would like to try the speakers with. One is a Parasound original A21 with Parasound preamp. The other system is a SET tube integrated amp, the Line Magnetic 216ia (about 28-32 watts a side). I currently use the SET amp with Vandersteen 2CE Sig II speakers and the Parasound amp runs Magnepan MMGs. I listen to jazz, blues and acoustical music. Often listen to female vocalists....
I have auditioned the Magenpan 1.7i with a JL Audio f113 subwoofer and although I like the planar sound with the sub, I would prefer not to match a sub to stereo speakers. My main objective is two channel audio listening and enjoyment.


@2psyop Get the Moabs, I think personally it's a better value for your money and space.  Just my 2 cents.  I have the Encores, I love them very much, but the Moabs are a much better deal for under $5k when compared to the Double Impact SE.
