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.

Your confusion in terms of version is not from me, it is rather from the iterations of the builder in a short amount of time. I just made you aware. 

I agree with your general thought however on the topic. Will stop posting here on tech matters and this speaker.

Please remember that Zero Fidelity made us all aware of the latest change, not me. I just answered a question posted on this thread.

That’s why I posted the video earlier to help with the questions about it in this thread.
Eric posted on that youtube channel to have people call with the serial numbers.

If you are willing to do the upgrade considering that your manufacturing date may be close, then it's probably best to actually take a look see and not completely trust your serial numbers.

If I remember correctly from a while back that Aniwolfe's Electrons are serial #'s 35+36 and it was reported to me that there was also a 35-36 clone as well out there.

I agree with so many that the original design is great to begin with and if you are uncomfortable with doing the upgrade,(if even necessary) then fortunately there are seemingly countless ways to work on improving your system. That is one of the beauties of this great hobby.

I think your suggestion is great based on grannyrings very helpful and interesting posts. I think I understand where you are coming from, that his posts might get lost in the shuffle in this thread, which is sad. Talks about bicycles and coffee makers should follow as well lol.
