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.

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 ?

70" tall and 16" wide? I'm even more intrigued now! They must put out some serious sound, especially bass. Like Charles I'd like to know about their sensitivity and impendence.......along with frequency response. 

Mike,

Whether you get the Ulfberts or not a trip to your place is in my future......getting the Ulfberts would certainly expedite that trip ;) I know I'm crazy for even contemplating removing the DI's from my main system but something tells me the Ulfberts are going to be insane.

Thank You for the info they must have 12 inch woofers instead of 10's they are bigger than I thought.

Probably have incredible horz. dispersion and stage along with killer bass.I would love too hear them.
