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.

They're dynamic as heck, and reasonably uncolored given that they're pro audio drivers with paper cones.  They move serious amounts of air, and don't need tons of power to do it.

That said, if I liked the Maggie sound I (and I do!) I don't think I could live with Tektons.  I'd use an active crossover and high pass 1.7s.  Or passively cross them over using line-level filters. Dipoles do so many things right ... I'd suggest at least trying better sub-woeferage before giving up them.  Also, Magnaplaner now has dipole subwoofers - they might be worth an audition.
