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.

Bill, I think we have a very similar opinion on the influence this new resistor you brought to light has on the musical performance. I mentioned the bass because there is a slightly deeper response just due to the basic design differences of the two models. I now realize that was confusing in a post pertaining to the resistor upgrade.

@lpretiring.

Thanks. My comments were in response to the Zero Fidelity video comments.

This is really something every DI speaker owner should have in their speakers. We really enjoyed the result. The speaker was already great, this is just a nice little jump in musicality. While your at it upgrade those caps! Ha!

Oh.., I will have to take a look at that video.

Upgrading the internals sounds like a great idea to me, however electronic tech is clearly not my strong suit. 

Will you make a house call to the Chicago area?

Glad my Electrons don't need that resistor. I would hate to try installing that.

Tom, I think you could handle it if directly behind a mid driver. I do want to emphasize the speaker is still wonderful without it.
