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 am actually going to be replacing a set of Final Sound Electrostats in my surround and a set of Apogee Ribbons with mine. Let me know what you think when you get them. I think you will get yours first.

I feel like an old fuddy duddy having ordered black metallic when everyone else is ordering orange!

Vitop,

Yes me too.You could always put some orange racing stripes on them or maybe some orange and red flames.

I hope you enjoy yours when you get them,


Kenny.

@kdude66, @david_ten,
Thanks for your opinions and suggestions. Do you guys know of anyone driving Tektons with Parasound A21? I am pretty happy with the Parasound and have no intentions to change anything in the system except the loudspeaker.

@almarg,
Thanks for my system specific recommendation. It makes sense on the actual figures you are talking about. The TVC "magic", it seems" lies at the lower volume settings. 5-6 increments below my current setting would be ideal. My TVC has 24 steps and I use either 14-15 depending on the CD.
Do you plan to audition the DI?
