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.

Seating 7 to 8 feet from the center is not 'too close.'

I'm getting good results in a 6 ft to 12 ft seating position range with the DIs being just over 8 ft apart. Ideal in my setup is about 8 to 9 feet away.

Excellent to hear, thanks much for the respone.  The DI would be visually dominant and out of preportion in my room I think but if the Electron does not work out good to know the DI would sound good in my room.

I got a response from Karma telling me she will be getting me a response from Eric....

That’s a response but not a very good one.

Another email sent after another day of no real response. I am now thinking about sending the speakers back...

Really hope that this gets resolved.  Again, shopvacs are not the answer here.  A new speaker should be just that. New. Without damage. I would call daily until this is resolved porscheracer.  If quality control suffers this really could be damaging to the future of Tekton.  What a shame that would be.
