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.

Wow Jeffery with a setup like that you can claim the Ulf's are 25 to 30 % better than the DI's. I strongly think not.

Just constructive criticism not meant to be a personal attack.

My single biggest audio epiphany was many years ago when I purchased a pair of speakers from a non-mainstream individual who suggested the speakers be placed WAY out into the room.  Prior to that I always felt they looked so tidy up against the front wall and that in fact if you wanted any bass you had to do that.

I'll never forget that moment.  That open, airy, huge sound stage changed me forever.  Not sure if I ever made it to dinner that night.

tough crowd.

I saw one fella build some pretty nifty sliders that could be pulled out for listening and rolled back when not in use. Pretty sure those were for Salks and nothing near as large as those Tektons, but maybe something to consider. Many of us are space-compromised and try our best within those limitations. But, damn. In the video, they looked snug flat against the wall.  Rear-ported?
