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.

Supposed to arrive Tuesday. I am hoping. Could have got them today if that pesky business trip didn't get in the way. Did you go for the cap upgrade?

Yes.  Seemed like a cost effective upgrade given that it included better wiring (lots of wiring in this speaker) as well as better posts.

Pickin my Double Impacts up tomorrow on the way to Mi from Ohio. They called and said they could deliver Thursday but they are already right where I am driving through so I am happy to be picking them up sooner.

mofojo--
beat ya by a day!  Two big (cold!) boxes waiting for me when I got home.  Now for a bit of break in before some serious listening this weekend.  Are they going to be able to compete with the magic of the Magnepan 1.7's??

No doubt there will be some give and take.

 Mofojo, I'm in Michigan also just north of Detroit. You're welcome to come hear how I have my DI's set up should you wish. Have fun playing with your new toys!

Corelli, it's going to take some time getting used to the DI's after the Maggie's. As much as I loved the 1.7i's I sold them after 3 weeks as I just couldn't live without the dynamic impact of the Tekton Enzo's I had at the time. Two very different sounds from the Maggie's and Tektons. Hope you're already enjoying the new speakers.
