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.

grey9hound,

Glad you are liking that Rogue Audio St-100,I haven't ever heard one but I do know the DI's can really shine with all kinds of gear and it comes down to knowing what kind of Sonic tea do your ears like best.

Best of luck to you,
Kenny.

I just read your earlier post and now understand your comment. My bad. Sorry. I get it now as I am indeed dim.

Your Rogue amp is one of the best tube amps available at any price. I have read the reviews and know folks who own it. It is very special and a smart buy. Fact is your amp ranks up there with Tekton in terms of killer value.

I bet it has amazing control of the DI speaker. I have no doubt it plays the DI with a sense of scale, ease, control that few low power tube amps could match.

I have looked at that amp used on several occasions, but never pulled the purchase lever.

Don't have room for the DI's and curious if anyone's heard the Electrons

Not that I'm aware of but there is a couple of guys that have them ordered and expecting them within 2 weeks.

Trani - I have not, but I believe there are others on this list that have. I do know that Eric told me that his speakers are all voiced the same, so to some extent they will all have that "Tekton" sound. Also, not sure what your budget is but the mini Ulf is smaller than the DI, yet higher end. However, be aware that they are not completed as of yet and they may take a while to get. Eric addressed in an earlier post what speakers are able to go out the door quickly. He is building and shipping speakers daily but the speaker you buy and finish you get makes a difference. Just go with whatever makes sense for you.
