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.

Corelli,

It looks like bicycle mileage will win today's race.

BTW, 7 days since my kitchen phone order, and not a peep, not a whisper, not a word.

Is silence golden?

No ride today lpretiring so you win!  But I will get 75 tomorrow early.

I never got much communication either. But I wouldn't hesitate to send an email.

I learned Tekton DIs are full-range speakers, in Home Theater environment when we have a good subwoofer  below what frequency from Front channels (Tekton DI) should be directed to subwoofer? 

Thx recommends 80hz and Tekton DI are very good at lower frequencies. What should be my crossover frequency? your recommendations are appreciated!

Hi @iamasif  Have you considered leaving the DIs as is for your home theatre application and using a single sub for LFE only?

Others are using subs, so they will be able to let you know what's working for them. 80 Hz seems high, to me.

Eric doesn’t publish anything but this for the DI speakers:

20Hz-30kHz frequency response
±1dB deviation from 70Hz-20kHz

Personally, I would like to know what the ± is for 20Hz. I suspect it is more than -3dB.

Based on that, you would not want the crossover frequency to be higher than 70Hz and probably a lot lower. I would not crossover at all and just add a single subwoofer. Then see how that sounds.
