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.

Also, a correction from two posts ago. Had a thought that kept pinging me ... so I looked into it. The NAD M27 is Hypex based, though NAD does add a few ’tweaks’ to the nCore technology.

To reiterate: The Moon and SST amps are Class A / B.  The Exogal Ion proprietary Class D.

David:

Running REW graphs and using the same mic, converter, amps, and speakers WHEN the DAC is changed, the response is significantly different -- mostly in the midrange. The 3 DACs checked so far include the Sabre 32s in an Oppo 105D, an Emotiva DC10, and the aforementioned RME UFX. Can provide graphs if you are interested. Suggest this might be the result of the analog electonics after the DAC's chip, but this is just a guess. You can, BTW also hear these differences when REW does the sweep.

Craigl59, the best dac's I've come across are the Schiit Yggdrasil and Gungnir multibit. They sound superb through the Double Impacts.
And, in a few weeks, through the Ulfberhts....

Thanks, 333jeffrey. Do either of them have a remote? Would prefer to run the monoblocks directly off the DAC.

craigl59, The Comet Plus DAC from Exogal was designed to drive amps directly and uses a variation of the Wadia digital volume control using a small remote, or an app for your smartphone.
