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.

@kdude66 @lmswjm Will there be a noticeable difference between 4/8 ohm version of DI? which version perform best under what situation? I learned it differs in power required to drive either version, in addition to this will there be a difference how it sounds/sonic quality?

@milpai Sounds good re your volume control!  As you realize, in contrast to many resistive-based controls a TVC will do well at low volume settings.  The main concern, and I suspect the only concern, would be running out of range when you may want to listen at particularly low levels, and it sounds like that wouldn't happen with your system even with the very high sensitivity of the DI.

Regarding your other question, no, I'm sufficiently happy with my Daedalus Ulysses that I don't envision trying any other speakers in the foreseeable future.  See my post in this thread dated 6-10-2017.  But I find it interesting to follow and occasionally contribute to the thread.  And of course the comparison Chris (Waltersalas) is performing and reporting on between the DI and the Ulysses is especially interesting, as he uses or has used the same speakers, amplifier, phono stage, and phono cartridge as I do.

Best regards,
