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.

Well, My DIs should be here on Friday.
There are Ferrari Red. The wife is out of town this weekend
She doesn't even know they are coming .
I wonder if i can get these out of the boxes and setup by myself ?
I also am using Lyngdorf Room Correction.
My pre is actually a McIntosh MX151 with RoomPerfect.
I have Emotiva XPA-1 Gen2 amps . I just sold my Purist Audio Dominus Fluid speaker cables in order to purchase the DIs. My system is mostly Purist Audio cables.I also use JRiver with .wav files. I use a Musical Fidelity V-Link2 USB to SPDIF converter with Purist Ultimate USB cable from Pc to V-link2.
From V-link2  to the MX151, I am using the Purist Audio Dominus Luminist Digital cable . Analog outs of the Mx151 to the XPa-1s is also the Purist Audio Dominus XLR Fluid cables. For now my speaker cables are the Voodoo Audio  cable reference speaker cables. The Power cord on the Mx151 is a Purist Audio Dominus Rev C Fluid .
I am hopeful that this will all sound Really good .
I know one thing , the Lyngdorf Room Correction is the best that i have ever heard .....Hands Down !
I just thought i would list all of the gear to see if anyone else is using any of the same cabling or gear and get their opinions.
I have on standby a buddy to help me move them in the house or set them up , on Saturday if i need it .
Thanks to all who have posted .
This thread is very informative.

So you have Ferrari red speakers being delivered without your wife's knowledge? Let us know who gets the speakers in the divorce settlement. :-)

Grey9hound,

Congratulations on your soon to be arrival. 

I hope your wife likes the red, rather than seeing red!

I'm curious when you placed your order? I ordered my Electrons in standard gray exactly one month ago today. My instincts after an e-mail are that I don't think they will be delivered in the very near future. I'm would prefer to wait rather than product being rushed out prematurely for sure. However, I am curious what your timeline was.

You really have to move fast with this thread. No time to gather your thoughts. It makes sense that I was beaten to the punch by someone named Bullitt.
