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.

@333jeffery.  Nothing to be "sorry" for.  If for some reason you prefer them that way, the rest of us can f off.  Heck, I just read some review on some speakers in which the reviewer said to gingerly stuff his jerk socks in the ports or something to get better sound.  But, if someone offers a suggestion that you can use to increase the performance, then you've done yourself and the "community" a favor.

Yeah, see? How could Jeffrey *not* be offended? It would have been better to ask, "Hey, Jeffery, that's pretty close to the walls; how is your sound? Have you considered placing them in other places in your room, or are you even able to?"

Futher dialog ensues. 

Personally, I wouldn't be offended, yet I would start second-guessing the hell out of my audio sanity! 

Of course playing devil's advocate here, David, myself and Bullitt, have all heard from Eric and he's always said yes to any room placement, right? Well, one could say, "Of course he would say that! He wants to sell speakers!"

I'm not saying that's the case, nor that Eric would lie, but taken at face value the devil has the most radient face of them all. :-)

Most speakers unless specifically designed for near wall/boundary placement will sound better when given breathing room. Teajay I hope your post is taken as well meaning constructive criticism.  Your recommendations can only yield improved sound quality I would think. Now if there is no further space then you simply play the hand you were dealt.  This would necessitate strong consideration of room treatment of some degree.
