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.

You really have to move fast with this thread. No time to gather your thoughts. It makes sense that I was beaten to the punch by someone named Bullitt.

Well
I did mention to her a few weeks back ,that i was getting them, because i sold my cables.
She didn’t believe me when i told her that i got enough out of the cables to buy the speakers.
I forwarded the paypal paid invoice to her to prove that i did.
As long as i am not spending more money, but selling someting to pay for it she will be ok with it.
Her favorite color is red.
Besides it downsiars in the dedicated room.
I get to do my audio stuff and 70 inch tv down there
She gets the upstairs and the rest of the house to do with what she wants. We made a deal on tha years ago

grey9hound,

Congrats on your new speakers,
I hope your wife is like mine and is very understanding and you both like them.

We don't share any of the same gear at all not even cables,so you need to sale everything you got and buy everything that I use for the best sound ever.

Just Kidding you should be fine and have some outstanding sound.

Kenny.

Just wanted to add to the validity and seriousness of Mike Kay's Archon Blue power cords.  Recently finished reviewing the VAC Signature 200 iQ power amp(s), I had two so I reviewed its performance in stereo and as mono-amps.  I had the VACs running in mono, using the highly thought of Entreq power cords that I borrowed from my brother, driving my Wilson Sashas and the sound was exceptional.  However, my beloved brother, who came by to do some listening this particular day, shared with me that on some of the tracks I played, the bass sounded a little lighter than what he's used to hearing at home (on teajay's old Magneplanars no less ).  I was a little surprised by that. Seeking redemption, I played about 4-5 tracks whose lowend pressurized the room and felt vindicated.  Still, there had to be a reason for my brother to speak up like he did.

The next week, I borrowed 2 Archon Blue power cords from Mike Kay to put on the VAC amps and right away there was very noticeable improvement. With the Archon Blue power cords on the VACs instead of the Entreq power cords, the sound was more natural sounding, across the board, without sounding soft or rolled off, and the low end became much more authoritative and extended.  Musical became more musically satisfying all around. Visitors that came back by after the power cord switch noticed the difference almost immediately.  Suffice it to say, I can wholeheartedly recommend the Archon Blue power cords and can't think of anything performs as well at their price point and beyond.  Now I'm ready to bring the Double Impacts in-house and see what all the hype is about.  j/k :-)
