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.

David,
Gotta love your 4 yr. old son.  Thinkin ahead.  What a hoot.  Reminds me of a trip to Wisconsin about 12 yrs ago with my daughter.  A week long trip in Dorr County.  Riding into Green Bay it had to be 110 degrees on the asphalt.  Only time I've had heat exhaustion.  Took 6 liters of fluid to get me right.  The next day a rain of Biblical proportion came down down and frankly we really didn't care.  Rain was better than heat.  Our tandem recumbent had to gain an extra 8# from fluid retention. Your son would of thought that soooo cooool in his rainproof fortress!

Alright , time to get on track.  The system is toasty warm. Time for the DI's to recreate a performance of The Nutcracker, Semyon Bychkov and the Berliner Philharmoniker.  OBTW,  Bychkov conducted the Grand Rapids Symphony Orchestra early in his career--my hometown.

@brotw  It can take a dropper post and front suspension. The 'faster,' 'racier' version is the Beargrease. : )

I've had the pleasure of hearing The Nutcracker performed many times over the years.  Didn't work out this year.  That is, right up until tonight.  The DI's brought the performance home big time.  I don't know about you guys, but there are times when listening at home I feel like I'm not missing out on much (at least sonically).
