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.

Thanks for the nice write-up mykeryte. Great to hear from folks with first-hand experience. The statement about whether a sub was or was not used in one of the demos got me to thinking. Since the Double Impacts are spec'd down to 20Hz, wouldn't that make a subwoofer unnecessary? Maybe I'm missing something, or don't fully understand the concept; but I was always under the impression that anything that could produce clean response down to 25Hz - or below - was considered "full range." Translation (to me at least) -> no sub needed. Is that not the case? Anybody?


Thanks mac48025, that is just the kind of information I was looking for. Much appreciated!
Great discussion continues. @teajay thanks for weighing in with comparisons to other brands, as it gives a really good frame of reference.

I am now leaning heavily towards making the trip down to SoCal for the L.A. Audio Show, since Tekton is on the exhibitors list. Plus it looks like an excellent line-up all the way around: laaudioshow dot com.
