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.

Mike,
           That will be a fun listen! Get Teajay and we might even have to crack a beverage or two!

Have about 50 hours on the Double Impacts now and have to say they are phenomenal. I expected them to be good but not this good. I have put them through all the paces with my test songs and they nailed it every time. The wife came down and wanted to hear a bunch of songs she likes last night.This never happens unless I drag her kicking and screaming to listen to some tunes. Her comment after a few songs was "I can't think of anything I would change about them". Might hook up my Cayin A100T tonight to see what some descent tube power sounds like with them.
On a side note does anyone know the thread size for spikes on these?

Thanks mac, I see it is quite a jump for the PMDs.  It does not appear they are powered.

Glad to hear you're liking the DI's as much as I am mofojo. Getting the wife's approval is huge! We will need to start a motor city DI club! The thread size is 1/4-20. I'm using the Mapleshade Heavyfeet carpet spikes and they not only couple the speakers to the basement floor well but are very stable, lift the speakers off the floor about an inch and look good.....the wife will like that! 

Quite a jump indeed jetter. As good as the DI's sound I can't imagine the PMD's warranting such prices......but who knows, maybe they are that much better.
