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.

Ozzy,
One of my concerns is that this is a 4 ohm speaker and that the 8 ohm version is +$400 more.
$3000 is not cheap but it's also not unreasonable for a truly HiFi speaker.
Also, boxing these up and shipping them back will be neither fun nor cheap.
Maybe I'm just not comfortable about spending $3K without auditioning.
Guess I'm just old school.

@agronatz   $3000 for these IS cheap. The box they come in is cheaper, but if you remove the speakers carefully from the boxes it won't be that big of a deal to audition them and I can almost guarantee that you won't be sending them back anyway.

I found that 400 watts per channel SS and the 1 watt Micro ZOTL to both be wonderful sounding, just different. Of course the MZ won’t reach concert volumes but loud enough for listening habits.

Agronatz even me I was uncomfortable spending $2100 on my impact monitor, without auditioning, I called Terry London who is very kind to answer my question, read the review of DI by TL, emailed Aniwolfe and Waltersalas after reading their post, They told me this are very very good speakers, I respect them, they own tekton speakers, And they were right, my monitor are amazing, With this speakers it’s worth the risk.The risk is very low because more likely you will keep them, 60 days audition, And they have return policy....
