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.

@buds: Great that the upgrade to the DIs is working so well for you! Congratulations.

@charles1dad : I’ve been thinking about this, but I’m not sure how to verbalize it, yet... This is a basic attempt at doing so (I’m sure someone else can do much better with the words): we talk of, and focus on the Double Impacts, but I believe much has to do with the learning, experience and wisdom of the owners, the interplay between those individuals, and the application of all of this in bringing the best out of the Tektons. It is, using your words, about "well conceived design and implementation" of all the products and so much more ahead of the Double Impacts.

Buds,

Congrats on your upgrade to Di's.I've had mine for a week,truly digging there Sound.

I have mine 1ft from the back wall,with great results and I have tried them at 5 inch like yours with no problems as well but did notice the stage not as deep.

Our room is 20x25x9 that opens to the kitchen and the walkway to the kitchen is close too the left speaker so I really can't have them pulled out any farther.This wouldn't be a good room for panels or ob's but I knew that when we bought the house.

I'm wandering where other Di owners ended up positioning there speakers.

I have a 16'x 17' room with an 8' ceiling. How far off the wall do these speakers need to be for best result? I also have plenty of room treatments, mostly absorption.
