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.

Can anyone go to the Chicago Audio Society meeting. I live in a far western suburb of Chicago and am not a member but I sire would love to the chance to hear both the Tekton Double Impacts and the Maggie 3.7's.

Mac,
Good point, if this speaker has a challenging impedance characteristics then the Frankenstein wouldn’t be the best amplifier choice. The Linear Tube Audio amplifiers seems a more suitable option. If 48025 is your zip code you can’t be far from me, 48323. I was going to offer you an opportunity to try mine. Another factor  is that your speakers are 4 ohm (I looked it up)  and my Frankensteins have only 8 and 16 ohm taps (my system speakers are 14 ohm nominal).

All the unscientific claims and BS about mass similar to that of the instrument which made the sound is quite comical. Talks about a Fender jazz bass guitar...isn’t it electric? Speaking of cone mass, his woofers look like ordinary Eminence pro stuff, I am sure they are fine but doubt they are the gold standard. Maybe it’s the flux capacitors he is using?
