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.

Congratulations!  I'm sure that BAT amp sounds amazing.  Not that you'd need it with the DIs, but you can run them as monoblocks, too?

I have those 6c33 tubes in PSET, and they are space heaters.  But, it's totally worth it.

@stfoth, my house is old and old in the winter moths but the ss vk500 threw out about the same amount. I can't see how monblocks would be any better with these as they are very efficient .

@stfoth some people seem not to like the 6c33's for some reason.

I love them in the Wall Audio amps.  The only objective criticism I've heard is that they get so hot that the tube sockets can fail over time.  Just a matter of when.  I don't know if they're true, but there are stories about the tubes being used in Soviet fighter jets up until the end of the cold war and military factories pumping them out like crazy just to stay busy.
