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.

Here are some great value amps;

SS AMPS

- Job 225 - wonderful sounding
- Many Class D amps from companies like D Sonic & Nuprime - many great choices. Not for all, but no doubt they offer extreme value vs conventional amps just a few years ago.  
- Powered dacs like the Lyngdorf 2170 and Exogal Comet are particularly great values and amazing sounding. 
- Emotiva


TUBE

- Inspire by Dennis Had - must have very high efficiency speakers 
- Prima Luna

I cancelled my Mini Ulf order as I felt things were not being done in a timely matter considering I received a damaged pair of Double Impacts over 2 months ago and have been waiting for a resolve ever since. IMO Tekton is making the best sounding product for the price right now. This was a matter of principle for me and nothing more.

I still have not heard back from Eric. I don't call because the last time I called, Karma told me that Eric is so busy building speakers that I should email instead. So that is what I am doing....

I am not particularly happy with Tekton right now.....

porscheracer, i've had to reach out to them via email several times. They do a decent job at getting back to you. It can be a bit of a pain after Eric seemingly being available when you call right away but I'm guessing he has gotten MUCH busier of late. It's worth the wait if you can. Good luck!
