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.

Well Eric, after months of owning the DI's I think I've found a speaker I'll like even more.......the Ulfberts! These new speakers of yours intrigue the hell out of me. I had no idea what I was getting into with your DI's and something tells me the Ulfberts are going to take things to a whole new level.

Regarding the science behind your designs. It's all over my head and it concerns me not. I do know that two best sounding speakers I've owned in my 35 years of audio are the Enzo's and DI's. That's enough for me to know!

Eric,

Then, on the flip side... I check in again on this Audiogon thread and read garbage about me. How sad! Someone saying I tell "lies" and produce "hype" and "pseudoscience". It's so frustrating to be defamed and slandered like this.

If I where you I would'nt worry one little bit about this,you are always going to have some negative comments no matter how good your products are.Just keep doing what you do and not look back.

Audiophile's are the most picky bunch of folks around,but I'm very happy with my Di's and I honestly turned down a set of Magico q3 instead of.

I'm Intrigued and also interested in your new one on down the road,I can always sale my Zu's and move the Di's too my 2nd system.

Could you give us any details about your new Ulfberhts.

Kenny.

mac48025 - I learned from Eric/Tekton that we can sell the Ulfberhts at Audio Archon.  However, they are much larger than the Double Impact and not sure how much space is needed yet?  Especially, since the DIs work so well in our rooms!  If/when we get a pair you are very welcome to stop by for a listen!

Thanks!

From what Eric told me, the Ulfberhts are HUGE. Over 70 inches tall, 16 inches wide. Scanspeak drivers, upgraded internals, too. Placing my order soon!

I've been running my Double Impacts with Carver Crimson 350's for a few days now, as my Nat amps are in the shop to replace some caps and resistors. The DI's really like these big tube amps, bass is glorious on them.

Hello Eric,
The  Ulfbehrt is larger than the DI and has increased internal volume. Does it have a higher sensitivity than the DI and will it be available as a 4 and 8 ohm version ?
