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.

Thanks, Willsw. I missed the statement in the review about the three outputs (RCA, speaker, headphone) being connected in parallel, which of course would not normally be done in a higher powered amp. So, yes, driving a sub and a separate power amp from the RCA jacks via a pair of splitters, or alternatively from a second pair of RCA jacks installed as an option, should work fine.

Yes they do check the website for details and they make one called the brilliance which is the model down from the doubles.

What size room do you have?

@willsw 

please get the DI's in the shop so I can come by and listen. I want to buy a pair but I would love to get in a listen first.

Thanks for the update. Sorry to hear you won't have a presence at LAAS. Would love to listen to the Electron/MZ2 combination.  Unfortunately, living in San Deigo makes that a little difficult!

Soundsrealaudio,
The Impacts were released just prior to the DI's and Eric informed me of identical sound quality, except in a slightly diminished quantity. I have owned the Impact's since last November and have described the performance in the Tekton Impact thread if you would like the pertinent information.
