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.

Thanx for the response.  I just spent several months in northern Europe and toured lots of cathedrals and heard incredible music also.    My Klipschorns have been in the corners for 21 years now and it’s hard to change.  I’m almost there.    I have a pair of bookshelf Tektons in my bedroom system and I heard Pendragons at RMAF 2015 and was very impressed.  
I’m in Syracuse, NY for the next few days if anyone could host me here.

Is there anyone in Florida with DI’s that would be willing to host a preview?  I am in St. Petersburg but am willing to drive to hear some in person.  Current setup is;
VPI Scout with Dynavector 10x5
Jasmine phono preamp
Prima Luna Prologue Premium Preamp
First Watt M2
Welborne Labs Laurel II 300b Momoblocks
Welborne Labs Moondog 2A3 Monoblocks
Welborne Labs Star Chief 45 Monoblocks
Decware Taboo Monoblocks
 Klipschorns
I am used to high efficiency speakers and low powered SET amps and wonder if I have enough power to make the DI’s sing.
Thanx for any consideration.

Corelli,
I caught a recital at the Cathedral in Rotterdam, which has the largest mechanical pipe organ in Europe, The organ has 7900 pipes,
and I think the organist used every one!  I’m not a true classical fan, but pipe organs are the largest musical instrument in the world, so you have to experience them in all their glory.

I am very interested.  I am currently in upstate New York but will be home next Friday.  I can come over with a source and amp to test drive them.  I’ll let you know when I’m home.  Thanx, Jim

Thanks to 333Jeffrey for inviting me to preview his Ulfberhts, I came home with his DI’s he had originally purchased.  After 2 days of listening to the DI’s in less than optimum placement, I offered up my Klipschorns on Craigslist. Less than 24 hours later they were sold and gone.  As for the Double Impacts, I’m a believer!
