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.

cliff, I agree with mac.  You will just have to try your electronics and decide.  I have listened to both SS and tubes.  I enjoy both for different reasons.  We've all said it over and  over--the DI's will let you hear the sonic signature of your electronics.  Avoid the temptation to let others decide for you what is best.  But you can benefit from great insight and experience from this thread.

I wouldn't begin to predict the behavior of your interesting room other than to say the DI's have a good chance of performing well.  Modest room treatment may afford significant improvements as well.   (If you want some DIY info here I can help.)

Hope all had an enjoyable and thankful Thanksgiving.

Thanks, The audiophiles on this forum sold me, I dont think they can make up there positive experience with the DIs and it's with them that I can safely make a critical choice for my wife and myself without being able to audition them in person. I know were in for a real eye opening jaw dropper.
Thanks everyone here.

@cliffkhz and @stfoth Congratulations to both of you on taking that ’leap’ and ordering.

Let us know how it works out in your rooms and with your gear and preferences.

Adding to what @mac48025 and @corelli have shared, the better the upstream gear, including cabling, isolation, etc. the better the results.....
