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.

Can anyone comment on their patented design and how its sound differs from "standard " dynamic speakers?
rotarius, it's very irresponsible to post baseless comments and badmouth someone without any proof. You sound just like someone else we all know...
Good first impressions but you lost me on this comment "...despite generous dimensions, the DI's float a big stage." I would have expected nothing less from speakers at 4.5 feet tall, if placed at a reasonable distance from the back wall.

"I think I now get what that patent is about."

Could you please elaborate?

Just as an aside, I also put priority on getting huge soundstage from speakers and while this could depend on many variables or be purely coincidental, I have found applying the Golden Ratio rule to the distance of the speakers vs. height of the tweeters - tweeter height x 1.6 = distance, and an equilateral triangle listening position, and no toe in, has given me the widest and deepest soundstage in several settings in different size rooms and different speakers. Like I said, this could be completely coincidental but might be worth experimenting.

"I've only that problem once but it does seem to be repetitive everyday..."

Well put...
