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.

Anyone using the Double Impacts with a high powered solid state amp? I have seen almost all the posters here, driving these with tube amps.

@lmswjm, thank you for posting the pic on your system page. The loudspeaker looks good. Are you driving them with any existing amp/source, or are you waiting to buy new amps/sources?

Charles1dad, 

I've kind of known this for awhile 😃. Why are you just now just figuring this out. 😂

@milpai   I have been driving my DI's with a Marantz Reference Integrated and have been extremely pleased with the sound I'm hearing.  I will listen to large scale works and everything seems so well sorted out and  precise.  The bass is killer--so deep, tight, and controlled.  The sound is not sterile or lacking in emotional impact.  Smaller works are full of nuance and detail.  So yes, the DI's can do great with SS amps.  A hugely versatile speaker.  Now don't confuse this with a right or wrong statement.  I have much respect for my tube loving brethren on this thread and would love to audition a quality SET at some point in my system.  But I'm just so darn happy right now.

@giantsalami   Good to see my old REL's being put to good use in your imaginative system!!  Very cool use of space.  I can absolutely see how this would make for a very nice compact yet full range system.
