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'll be rolling the different vintage carafes to see which one makes the coffee tastes better. Looking for a discontinued pear shaped one from the 30's. I am sure it will make the coffee taste smoother and more liquid.

I think you've just summed up the whole audiophile experience in just a single sip.

omg. thought I was the only one. mine has a built-in burr grinder, so I put the machine on sorbothane hemispheres on a maple butcher block with another set of hemispheres underneath that. then lined the back panel with dynamat. the improvement in the consistency in the grinds was night and day.

If you're serious about this, vitop, I have a  New Old Stock carafe that was produced by Sunbeam for military use in the 1940s. These are almost impossible to find, and you have to watch out for Russian and Chinese knockoffs. 

I can let it go for $8,000.

@waltersalas Is that an actual new, old stock carafe or does it just test as new on an opacity gauge?  if the latter, when and how was the equipment calibrated?

This sounds like just the ticket. A military grade carafe. Now I need to find an imported one.

$8000.00 sounds reasonable. Those things don't just grow on trees. aw hell.... Now I need one that grows on trees so I can see how a biodegradable one will change the taste.
