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 heard the Tekton SE'S again tonight at Ezra's they  have really improved from Day one.
Guys if you can afford them I say go for it, they are definitely a step up,the bass is outstanding.
Ezra's system is way north of $150,000 not counting the speakers so keep that in mind.

Hey mac48025,

Congrats!  I totally agree with you regarding: 1) Your description of how Aric's amp, being driven by the Micro-ZOTL delivers beautiful music through the DI's.  It is by far the best combination I have heard on both the DI's and ULf's in my home.  2) Aric's a great guy and builds quality reference level gear and charges very reasonable prices.  

AricAudio really belongs on the short list of one of the great bargains in high-end audio on the market today.

@aolprodj ,
hard to imagine the SE's are that much better than the upgraded DI's.   I find so much depth in the DI's that the leap from these the the SE's seems unreal.

@vitop - I'm sure Eric is still pursuing the Mini Ulfberts.  He was talking about a model in-between either DI SE/Mini Ulfberts  or Mini Ulfberts and Ulfberts.  Nothing was really ironed out. I assumed, and maybe incorrectly that it would be more DI like at $7K range or more Ulfbert around the $10K range. It was in addition to, not in lieu of the mini Ulfbert unless I misunderstood him.
