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.

Not at all. Have used Emotiva XPA-1L monos to drive the DIs for over a year (500 watts) and just upgraded to the XPA-1s (1000 watts). What is more important in terms of performance is Class A power. The XPA-1s have 60 watts of class A and this is enough to make the DIs sing. My XPA-1s deliever more than 500 watts of power to the DIs (can tell by the meter) and they do not mind at all.

Emotiva amps have a strong and deserved rep in the studio world but are not popular on this site. Nonetheless, they are very accurate and match particularly well with the DIs.

Get a pair of DIs ASAP; you will never regret it.

I am still enjoying my DI SE very much.

I have a friend who actually has too many speakers. He will sell his DI’s for $2500. They are orange, have low miles and look great. I saw them today. Send me a message
