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.

I wish I knew. I have not heard the brilliance. I thought the DIs were exceptionally clear so when people said the Brilliance were clearer than the DIs, that just started me thinking.

Eric has not told me what drivers he is using in the Ulfberht Minis. I believe he was toying with 4 8" bass drivers, but I do not know the quality of them (or the other drivers) and if he considers the Mini to be in the PMD line or regular line. I know Eric wanted to make a statement with the minis in the $7500 space so I am assuming he is putting in the good stuff but I honestly do not know.

I can't believe that all you Tekton owners would let one persons opinion up set you so much.
Don't worry be happy.

I'm quite sure your mini Ulfberhts will be using the PMD components vitop. It's going to be a great sounding speaker I'm sure. Can't wait to hear your impressions of it. It reminds me of when I ordered my DI's, I had a vague idea of what they were but just trusted Eric. After he built them he sent me pics and I was like "Holy #€£!". Please share with us any details as you get them. Thanks

i didn't realize any of us were upset, just throwing around ideas as to why the Brilliance might have a bit more clarity than the DI's. Eric's designs are fun trying to figure out.

When ordering my DI's Eric mentioned the Brilliance to me but knowing my propensity for more dynamic speakers he steered me towards the DI's. I believe he said the difference between the DI's and Brilliance is similar to the difference between the Pendragons and Seas Pendragons. The Seas being more refined but not as dynamic.

Aol:

I am guessing that maybe I am the one you might have thought was upset, but Mac is right on. I am not upset at all. Just throwing ideas around as he says. I completely trust Eric. The man knows what he is doing and I feel like he is taking care of me. I guess I could just pick up the phone and ask him about the 3 speaker array vs the 7 speaker array in terms of differences, dynamics and clarity but hell.... I have questions all the time and if I call him every time I wonder about something I’d never leave him alone.
The end of this week will be the two week mark out of the four weeks he said it would take so I was going to call him and see if he was still on schedule and I’ll probably ask him. But I’m not worried about it.
